Next half marathon

I'm always alert to the fact that a lot more people visit the website when there are big events happening. Although most of them visit because they or their family are taking part, there are always some who have considered taking part but have not yet taken the plunge - a bit like all the people on their bikes after the Tour de France or on the tennis courts after Wimbledon.

So that is why I often move the focus to events a little further in the future in the hope that some of those casual visitors can be persuaded to take part. This morning I have plugged the Haldane Fisher Half Marathon.

Despite the reaction of Les Brown (above) to my camera at the event in 2008, you will be given a warm welcome.
