Meeting at the old Gas Works Car Park, participants will be put into groups , with those doing a similar pace. The run will consist of 25 minutes heading out, and 24 minutes return along “hopefully” the same route, totalling 49 minutes of running. However, the group will set their own route, as they go along. Each person within each group will take turns to lead/dictate the route on the way out. E.g. if you are in a group of 5, each runner will lead for 5 minutes, which totals the 25 minutes out. I will be interested to see where everyone goes, when looking at Strava afterwards.
After 25mins, you need to take a selfie (I will be looking for the best pose and happiest group) of the group showing your location add add it to your Strava (If you want) after. Now for the real challenge, after the 25 minutes, you will need to retrace the route that you've created. You will again each lead for the same amount of time as on the out, and will stay in the same order. This means that the person who led first on the way out, will then lead for the first portion of the way back - so make sure you are paying attention to each turn you make and the things you pass on the section that you will need to retrace. The return ideally will be done a minute quicker.
This session is just a bit of fun/a social run. Please stay together as a group, which means running at a comfortable pace for all members, not just yourself. Please stay safe, be aware of any road crossings/avoid these if possible. Do not go on any private land, or across any surfaces that are too difficult to run on - be sensible… have fun!
This is suitable for everyone, any pace, even if you need to walk some of it.
Lights will be a must.
