mjoyeux Nov 2012 10:07pm, 11 Nov 2012 18 posts	0 mjoyeux Has anyone had their race numbers for the run? Where's the best car parking spot? I\'m going for sub 35:30 if there\'s anyone who fancies coming along and pushing me through!

Andy39 Nov 2012 9:14am, 12 Nov 2012 76 posts	0 Andy39 Got my number on Saturday. Thanks for the info on parking Johnny. Wild horses couldn't get me round in that time mj. I'm hoping for the 45 min mark.
Andy39 Nov 2012 12:07pm, 12 Nov 2012 77 posts	0 Andy39 Apparently the last lot of race packs are being sent out today. That's cutting it a bit fine imo. Anyone not receiving theirs in time can pick up a spare at information near start area on the day. It opens up at 7.45am. Got this info from them after an enquirey I made on Friday about Brother in laws number.
rf_fozzy Nov 2012 12:23pm, 12 Nov 2012 3,858 posts	0 rf_fozzy If I remember rightly, the race packs are always sent out close to race date with the dash. There is a reason for it, but can't remember it at the moment. I'll ask the RD next time I see him (although that will probably be on Sunday and he'll be extremely stressed, so maybe not!). I'll be marshalling somewhere near the cinema lights on Kirkstall Rd, since my club organises the race. If I spot anyone, I'll give you a shout, but it's more likely I'll be dealing with irate taxi drivers who always seem to think they are immune to the road closure! We had some "interesting" encounters last year at the turnaround point! Including some verbal abuse because someone could get to Morrison's at 8.30. I did point out to him that Morrison's doesn't open until 11am ona sunday, but that didn't seem to be useful information...

Northern Exile Nov 2012 12:54pm, 12 Nov 2012 1,841 posts	0 Northern Exile Likewise, I can't think of a single occasion when an Abbey Dash spectator has done anything but cheer. I was injured one year and had to watch and did lots of cheered, then this girl was sick on my foot and I did lose it a bit .... hey ..... hang on a minute [brain slowly assimilating page information ]
