My first "race" since I started running again. Set up by Steve Runner of Pheddipidations podcast fame, the Worldwide Festival pf Races take place next weekend. This race is a free, non-commercial event for runners of all abilities, where everyone is invited to register, train and run with us in the spirit of friendship. All you have to do to enter is register to the website, choose one of 3 distances, and run. Then enter your time on the website and get your virtual goody bag! The distances are World Wide Half (13.1miles), The Zen Run (10K), or Kick the Couch (5K). You can either enter an organised race on the weekend, or just work out your own course and run that. I've opted for the 5K and will be running my own route. It's the perfect time in my training to try the next stage. The kids have even said they'd join in, and Amy has registered on the site too. As me and Becks are going away next weekend, I'll be running on the evening on the 10th. So far this year I will be joining 560 other runners from 40 countries.
The website, for anyone else who wishes to enter, is http://worldwidefestivalofraces.com/.
