Question:- What was so noteworthy about this event? Why would it have implications for Coventry Godiva when the club would not be formed for another five years?
Dear Blog,
Friday June 20th. Free camping for camper van, large tent:-
‘5’ mile cross country race, about 400 finishers including both my daughters. Race results, awards and memento in marquee, pig roast next to the changing-rooms ..which were open all weekend for showers / wash / pots cleaning / toilets any time!!
Saturday June 21st. Beautiful weather, paddling pool for the kids which the adults commandeered for an ice bath after the run!!
‘8.1’ mile trail run with the hard core of about 230 runners who had entered the whole challenge. Race results and luminous technical t-shirts plus race awards .. wall to wall world cup t.v. for those so inclined in the bar cum lounge .. which was open all weekend. Plenty and variety of sandwiches.
Sunday June 22nd. And the weather was even hotter
‘Half marathon’ over trail, road and playing fields, two laps which allowed several viewing points on the Unilever Research Station playing fields on which the whole weekend was based. Luminous hat, race results and series results and awards which included individual runners entered just for this race. Plenty of refreshments, including Lipton’s Ice Tea and free ice creams (all weekend) although a contribution for charity was welcomed. Both daughters finished, one being 3rd overall …. On the day she became a vet!! (Master to you Blog)
And what more could you ask for a £20 entry fee???? My daughter’s birthday!!!!
Same time. Same place next year Blog … a well organised first class event Blog. And yes, Godiva club member Damian Carr was the 2014 Coleworth Marathon Challenge overall champion again …AGAIN.
