    Two people have now nominated me to start this as can't find another one on the go.

    So, who is racing and expecting a fantastic new 5km PB and more importantly what's this about going to Ryan's afterwards?

    I'll be there. Certainly not expecting a PB, as I've only been within a minute of it once this year :rolleyes:

    It was my first 5k race, nearly three years ago now, and the downhill aspect of it is something I really enjoy. Plus you have people around you all the way, to hopefully help with that final push to the line !

    I'm in. First timer. Signed up in 2013 but got injured and looked on jealously before snagging a mug anyway. Look forward to it.

    Still undecided. I'm not going to get a PB and I'm not sure I want to know how slow I've gotten to be entirely honest :/

    Whoops, maybe do it as motivation to get back running/racing and see how you get on? You could surprise yourself. Lovely downhill finish apparently. Also RYAN's with random internet company.

    Hi IvoryTower.

    Yes you can but can you email us with your details and we can look into it for you? Sorry but can't post email address for some reason.

    Ok I'm in. I feel like I'd be lucky to break 30 minutes in this state so I'm mostly doing it for post race rendezvous :P
