Ok, so I floated the idea a little while ago and everyone seemed so ‘keen’ that I thought I’d push on with recruitment for next year’s Southampton 1oK.
I propose a group run for charity and am obscuring the dedication, commitment and determination needed along with the pain, suffering and doubt to be experienced, with the promise of a huge piss up afterwards.
The ‘race’ is on Sunday morning 22nd April next year. ‘Should’ take just over an hour for the race, then approximately 8-10 hours of drinking and at least two days recovery.
If you are shit at running/drinking then don’t worry! We can get through this together. Just start training in January and you’ll be fine.
Please reply below/pm me if you are up for it. We’ll have a vote on the chosen charity once all you lovely charitable beauties are signed up x.

LOL … at first glance I read that as ‘Sotonians to run a pub 2018’ which piqued my interest.

I am getting a bit long in the tooth for the running part of it. Can i just come for the huge piss up? Would that be allowed?

Is this a cunning reference to the IT Crowd, or is it just a damp squid?

I’m in. Might prefer the half-marathon, depending on how fat/fit I feel at the time of signing up. Either way, I’ll certainly be up for a post-run libation.

Yes. If you don’t run you have to buy an extra round though.

In the interests of my knees, ankles, hips, moobs and dangly-bits, I’ll wave you on enthusiastically from the sidelines.
Moral support should never be underestimated.
