Rowdy? Fetchies? Shirley not ;) I'm driving up from Wakefield at v. silly o'clock to catch the bus to Alnmouth. However, I've a day off Monday, so in no rush to head back to Yorkshire afterwards. When I last ran this in 2000, the presentation was at the pub nearest the beach and was crammed with people :) Looking forward already!

Made the mistake this evening of looking back to see when I last ran anything like this distance. Leeds Half in early May! Bu@@er!

Trail shoes with light tread for me, tho' I've run it in road shoes in the past without a problem. Feet get wet v. early, so I wouldn't wear your Sunday best shoes :)

Our running club are eating at Piccolinos Italian in Alnwick Saturday night. We ate there last year - great palce with a slightly crazy proprietor which makes the evening more interesting!

I was wondering about the shoe question myself - think I might ditch the snakeskin stilettos and go with the trail shoes instead. Trouble is, for me wet feet = blisters, usually :-(

That restaurant sounds good, wend - do you think they'd be able to accommodate a few extra Fetchies on Saturday night? Anyone had any brilliant ideas about where to go on Sunday pm after the race?
