BUT we can get some forms from the hjc and get sposnsored for them. the money for the race goes to med equip so there's no need to get sposnored for them. It costs either 12.50 (individual) or 11.50 (per person in teams of six)
so far we have four people who have lost the plot agreed to do this, and no england aren't playing that day in the world cup.
so apart from blurred, sorted!, albilbol and me who else is gonna join us?
also due the lovely nature of the course we are hoping to do it in lfc tops and maybe do a banner to take with us. any thoughts? 46 miles from mediocrity to excellence is one idea so far.
