I think it could be a cool idea but I’d run it
Half Marathon Friday Night
Rest Saturday Afternoon
BBQ/Beer Saturday afterMake it more a social event than serious. Part of the problem of running in my eyes is the seriousness. Race, have a beer and photos at finish then go home and talk online to others who raced.
Stay all together and have fun.

Hey all. I’ve been wanting to organise a race for a while. Life keeps getting in the way. Thanks to the current situation I now have some time to set concrete plans. You all have a breadth of experience and I’d value any ideas or thoughts you have. Good and bad. So…
I’d like to set up multi stage event. This will entail: Hill Climb // Tunnel Sprint // Elimination 5km race (on a track. Each lap the last person is eliminated) // Half Marathon
I want to make this as simple and cheap as possible. Im trying to avoid sponsorship and hype in general. I just want a create an interesting grass roots event.
So, a few questions:
Do you think people would be interested?
My initial plan was to do the whole event over the course of a long weekend (Thurs-Mon evenings). My concern is that this would burnout the runners and may be too big of a time commitment.
Do you feel £15 is a reasonable fee?
