First of all can we wish all the half marathon runners a good nights sleep, plenty of carbs, hydration, no last minute injury 'niggles' and suitable weather for tomorrow.
For everyone taking part in the fun run, to ensure we maximise the exposure of ToD we would like to all meet together in the 'corner seats' near the half marathon start so that we can get some photos and cheer on the Half Marathon runners as they go through.
The Half marathon starts at 9am and the fun run as soon as all the runners have gone through (around 9.15) so get there early to soak up what is usually a great atmosphere before the race.
For the fun runners it would also be good to start the run 'en masse' together for the same reason (we are aiming to get as many photos as possible loaded onto the web by the end of the day - so watch out for your picture) although we realise that some may be running somewhat faster than others once we set off!
The forecast for tomorrow is dry ( as I type anyway!) but should this change then please wear your ToD T shirts over the top of waterproofs etc as this will again help us gain maximum exposure and improve awareness.
For those of you taking part for the first time, the trams are the favoured way of getting to Don Valley and extra early services are being put on, but please be aware depending where your stop is you may not get on the first tram you try as they can be packed!
Thank you everyone for your efforts, we look forward to seeing you all in the morning.
Clare, David, James & Grace.
I'll try to catch you tomorrow if you're still there when I finish x
