Glow Memory Walk Brighton 2020

March 9, 2020August 27, 2020 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

When my cousin Stephanie invited me to join her at the Alzheimer's Society Glow Memory Walk in Brighton, I didn't hesitate to say yes. Stephanie wanted to take part with her daughter and my mum, so we all signed up together as a team of four for just £10 each. Detailed information was emailed, and… Continue reading Glow Memory Walk Brighton 2020

London Winter Walk 2020

January 27, 2020January 27, 2020 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

Mum and I took part in the London Winter Walk 20K for the first time in 2018, and it’s now become an annual must-do event. The £59 registration fee is a bit steep, however it’s nice to start the New Year with some fresh air and a bit of exercise, and mum very kindly offered… Continue reading London Winter Walk 2020

Race for the Kids 5K 2019

October 16, 2019October 22, 2019 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

Mum and I took part in Great Ormond Street Hospital’s Race for the Kids 5K in 2017 and 2018, and we absolutely loved it. My sister was an unfortunate victim of medical negligence when she had cancer, and was transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital who saved her life. They were also a tremendous support to… Continue reading Race for the Kids 5K 2019

Sevenoaks Rotary 10K 2019

March 18, 2019March 18, 2019 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

I took part in the Sevenoaks Rotary 10K in 2014, 2015 and 2017, but sadly couldn’t last year because it was too close to the Brighton Marathon. I like this event – it’s local (easy to get to), scenic and well-organised. The route is two laps around multi-terrain Knole park with a steep hill around… Continue reading Sevenoaks Rotary 10K 2019

London Winter Run 2019

February 4, 2019February 4, 2019 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

The London Winter Run has been going since 2015 and I’ve now participated in all five events. I didn’t sign up for the 2019 event until a few weeks ago, and ended up paying a ridiculous £49.50 for the privilege, but didn’t like the thought of missing out on an event which I’ve always taken… Continue reading London Winter Run 2019

I took part in the London Winter Walk 20K for the first time last year, and loved it. I wasn’t sure whether or not to take part again as the £59 registration fee is a bit steep; however it’s always nice to start a New Year with some fresh air and a bit of exercise,… Continue reading London Winter Walk 2019

The British 10K 2018

July 16, 2018July 16, 2018 laurasfootprints1 Comment

Ah, the British 10K. I have a chequered history with this event! I participated during 2014 and labelled it the “worst 10K I’ve ever been to,” due to the terrible organisation and event management. However, in 2016 I won a Twitter competition of free entry to the British 10K - plus a Brooks running kit… Continue reading The British 10K 2018

London 10,000 2018

May 29, 2018May 29, 2018 laurasfootprints1 Comment

I ran the London 10,000 for the first time five years ago in 2013 and it holds some great memories: it was the first time I experienced a big, well-organised running event, and it had me hooked. I took part again during 2014, 2016 and 2017 and couldn’t wait to return in 2018. Travel on Monday… Continue reading London 10,000 2018

New Brooks Ghost 10 trainers

April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

I’d always planned to wear my Brooks Ghost 7 trainers for the Brighton Marathon. I’ve worn Brooks Ghosts since 2013 - starting with the Ghost 5s - and find them super comfortable. My Brooks Ravenna 8 and Glycerin 14 trainers are also pretty awesome, but I wear them for distances up to 13.1 miles only, and save… Continue reading New Brooks Ghost 10 trainers

The Vitality Big Half 2018

March 9, 2018March 9, 2018 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

I’m not sure how, but The Big Half completely slipped under my radar and I only heard about it a month or so prior to the event, by which time it was already at full capacity. I’ve taken part in plenty of Vitality events previously but hadn’t received any email communications or seen any targeted… Continue reading The Vitality Big Half 2018

London Winter Run 2018

February 5, 2018May 29, 2018 laurasfootprintsLeave a comment

The London Winter Run has been going since 2015 and I've now participated in all four events. Last year I kept looking at registration for the 2018 event but with the price at £47 I was struggling to justify it... Until Black Friday came along in November. With 20% off I didn't hesitate to sign… Continue reading London Winter Run 2018
