Helllooooo all you wonderful racers!!!
It’s virtually time to fire the gun for the spring 2024 HU10, virtual 10 miles and 10k event!
Some exciting news and a few last minute details for you 😊
~~~
⭐⭐ ⭐ !!! YES, YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP !!! ⭐⭐ ⭐
It's not too late to join in, just comment below
10 miles or 10k Main event Sunday 19th May, 9.30am (for greater flexibility we will accept runs at any time on Sunday 19th May or at any point during the following week of Mon 20th - Sun 26th May)
See this post for more details: healthunlocked.com/marathon... and go here to see our latest start list: docs.google.com/spreadsheet...
⭐⭐ ⭐ 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇!!! MEDALS !!!🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇⭐⭐ ⭐
Yes, medals! For the very first time we have commissioned our very own medals for this event!
Available to purchase as a memento of the event - to get your hands on one of these inaugural medals, all you have to do is run the distance then head to the Sprinters website to order.
This wooden medal features our HU Fun Beyond 10k & Race Support 'button', and will come with either a 10k or 10 mile ribbon (simply select the one you require when ordering).
Medals can be ordered and paid for via the Sprinters website. The total cost is a very reasonable £7.70 which includes UK postage (I'm sure Sprinters will be very happy to accommodate overseas postage if you speak with them by phone or email).
Orders must be placed by 2nd June. They will then all be manufactured in one batch, for despatch the following week.
The link for ordering will be added to the Sprinters site soon.
⭐⭐ ⭐ !!! MUSIC !!! ⭐⭐ ⭐
Irishprincess has very kindly created a public playlist in Spotify from your amazing suggestions. An eclectic mix, we suggest playing it on shuffle and (just in case) knowing where your skip button is ( 🤣) because it really does encompass all styles of music!!!
You can find the playlist, HU10 May 2024 on Spotify, here: open.spotify.com/playlist/2...
If you wish to set the playlist up on another platform, the list of track suggestions can be viewed on the second page of our startlist spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheet...
⭐⭐ ⭐ !!! RUN EXPERIENCE APP !!! ⭐⭐ ⭐
We still have access to the HU virtual ‘run soundtracks’ that we set up in RunGo for previous events. If you haven't yet listened to these, you are in for a treat unlike anything you have heard before! If you have already listened to any of the earlier ones, you will already know just how classy they are😍!!!
Full details will be available in an event guide which will be available later today or tomorrow.
⭐⭐ ⭐ !!! BIBS !!! ⭐⭐ ⭐
If you want to complete your race experience and proudly show your HU allegiance to the world, you will be able to print your very own personalised bib.
A link to the bib PDF will be available by Friday (so we can allow for as many last minute changes as possible).
⭐⭐ ⭐ !!! RESULTS/WINNERS !!! ⭐⭐ ⭐
Look out for a separate results post next week and comment there so we can capture your times (which will be used to determine the winner of each distance).
Remember you do not have to be the fastest runner to win your event!
On Monday 27th May we will draw a random winning time for the 10 miles and the 10k, and announce the winner of each event (whoever ran closest to the drawn times).
⭐⭐ ⭐ !!! RACE REPORTS !!! ⭐⭐ ⭐Do let us have race reports (or comment in our weekly chat if you prefer) - we love hearing all about your runs.
⭐⭐ ⭐ !!! FINALLY !!! ⭐⭐ ⭐
Remember, it's not too late to sign up, and do let us know if you have any questions.
Look out for the Event Guide (with full RunGo details), the Bib post, Badge ordering details and the Results post; all coming soon!
Good luck everyone. Bon Courage. But above all, have fun.
We will be there on the sidelines, loudly cheering you on !!!
Be excited!!!! Enjoy!!!🥰
