Shef_Fitness 27-03-2011, 09:50 Hope I'm posting on the right thread here.
A number of the female class members will be joining this event (apparently I'm being made to take part - in a dress :help:) so if you are unattached to any groups and want to join this event, then feel free to join us.
The members who are doing the event so far, train at the Stannington Class on Thursday (see link in in signature). I will be putting the idea out to the other sessions, so there should be a few of us taking part + a hairy one in a dress
That's fantastic news that members from your fitness class are getting involved and taking part in Run in the Park - thank you for your support!
We look forward to welcoming you all on the 10th July (and seeing the frock)!

kev 1982 10-06-2011, 17:39 Just signed up for the 3k run. I am doing what will be my first ever 10k the following week at Rother valley for Testicular cancer however I live close by to Graves park so thought I would use this as my training run and to show my support.
anyone know the actual route for the 3k and 10k through the park?
NickDuggan 13-06-2011, 22:04 Well done for entering because the race is almost full. The 10K is two big laps taking in most of the park with the start and finish by the main pavilion by Derbyshire Lane. hilly but one of the best running routes in Sheffield

NickDuggan 15-06-2011, 20:04 Only 110 places left with 3 weeks to go .

If anyone can't make the event for the 3k could you please let me know so my friend could run it for you. Thanks.

loupoppins 23-06-2011, 20:32 oh, me too!! I am gutted:shakes:! I had promised my kids they could do the fun run,(having watched me in lots of runs!) but stupidly thought it wouldn't fill up, so left it late ( hey as a busy working mum of 6 kids I leave everything late lol) just went to sign up and its full:sad: My 6 yr old (who has Aspergers) has especially been looking forward to it for ages and doesnt do disappointment well! not looking forward to breaking the bad news! I'm so sad!
if anyone has any places they dont need PLEASE let me know! (would love 4 ideally but any will do!)
TIA
