The Coming Weekend – A Running Extravaganza

Saturday November 10th 7.30am 2007 – Vasque Hangzhou Westlake Mountain Race – nomination details at http://race.fxoutdoor.cn/ which works a lot better if you read Chinese. If not, register with Luo on 0571-85922881. It’s a 28km run around the Hangzhou mountains, starting from HuangLong stadium, which is either an individual event, a two person relay or an exclusive hash 6 person relay as patched together by Doggie and agreed to by the run organisers. That means that Doggie, Acro, Tonsils, Pelagic, Bottom Feeder and Pushup are in and on on. In the amazing event that the baton will be actually changed by this geographicly challenged crew in the mountains, then the last runner will be back about 12.15. There is little doubt that there will be some post-run celebrations, think Maya, afterwards. Come join!   The G Earth image of the route and a map is in the gallery, under Oddities.

Sunday 11th November 8.30am Start of the Hangzhou Marathon – HuangLong Stadium – It may not be too late to register for distances from 1.6km to the full monty. www.hangzhou-marathon.com You may have to go direct to the organisers’s office, rather than use the cumbersome system provided. There are none of the hash or Even If It Rains group doing the 42k but quite a number doing the half and 8km, so Bottom Feeder is organising BBQ materials for lunch at the Maya at say, 12.30. Now because BF will be arranging the food, it’ll be great value, starters can pay him on the day. All of which brings us to…….. 

Sunday 11th November – approximately 4.00pm – Run #23 – The Armistice Day Run Hares Pelagic and Bottom Feeder – The Maya Bar approximately 4.00pm – following the post marathon BBQ – You are promised a memorable run.

p.s. there’s bound to be some Friday night drinks somewhere as well, with curfew!
