Good afternoon from a hive of activity at Tape2Tape Towers! Just 2 more sleeps to race day which has been 12 months in the planning.
We have a fab team working alongside us today doing a stack of jobs to make sure Sunday is safe and enjoyable for you. We have never seen so much kit and equipment for one race! The vans will certainly be working hard over the next few days.
Nicola though that Neil had popped through to Scunthorpe last night as he was ‘doing some urgent course checks.’ It only became apparent that evening when Nicola saw him on Sky TV in the crowd watching his beloved Hull Kingston Rovers playing Salford that he had ‘made a wrong turning’! Suffice to say Neil is paying a penance with additional chores today!
Bacon butties are currently being prepared for the team, no guesses as to who is in the kitchen with his pinny on!
A few ‘serious bits’
Ill or injured
We respectfully ask that you do not run on Sunday if you are ill/injured. As runners ourselves we do know just how frustrating this can be, but we ask you to do the right thing and not turn up.
We have a comprehensive medical plan in place to deal with unexpected on the day issues and not those that can be avoided. We do not want resources diverting away from dealing with urgent cases…thank you.
Number Concerns
Please see below if you are concerned about not having your runner number.
Runner Guide
We know you have all read it by now, but if not……….
Team Prizes
We are very much bound by England Athletics rules which state you must wear your club vest to be in contention for a team prize. Really simple, which will be adopted on race day.
