Question:
Ive just done the Nike 10K my first ever 10K run with little training... I'm
in london and I'm looking for future events (10K) to take part in...
complete beginner (1 hour +) so, dont want a really competitive run mote
like a fun run... any ideas ??
Answer:http://www.realrunner.com/ukandeurope/races/races10ks.htm
provides a fairly good diary of races in this range (and some fairly
obviuos ways of getting to the equivalent lists for up-to-half-marathon
and up-to-marathon distances).
If you're anywhere within a reasonable distance of London, it sounds
like http://members.tripod.co.uk/Theale_fun_run/ might meet your
requirements? Only downside is if you're dependent on public transport -
the "how to get here" info suggests that the M4 is the one and only true
way ...
You don't say where in London you are, but if you're down in the SW, get in
touch with the Wimbledon Windmilers (http://www.windmilers.org.uk) - they
are a running club that's aimed far more at the beginner/slower runner than
most clubs are and have regular events of all distances.
