| All go at Paddock Wood - mind where you point that gun ! |
A fantastic weekends race action with three major events - all with half marathons at Paddock Wood and Richmond, and the Bournemouth Bay Run with the extra 10k, 5k and 1k Fun Runs to boot.The weather seemed to hold itself back with it being very warm in London and colder down on the coast in Bournemouth.
 |
| Just past the 1 mile mark at the water station for Folkestone in the warm sun |
I must also apologise for the lack of a blog after the Easter Weekend (it's been busy, I've been ill, and it's year end) and not yet mentioning the Folkestone 10 - which was very good in perfect blue skies !
Full gallery links to recent races are below in the table.

Discount Corner !
As we continue to support race organisers by spreading the word on their events, they continue to give us special offers to share with you - which we see as a win-win.
I'll try to put this table in as regularly as possible and get even more offers for you - unfortunately one of the limitations is only the more tech savvy event organisers can do this for online entries - but we will continue to talk to all of them and see what we can do:
