DeeGee Jan 2013 9:40pm, 20 Jan 2013 13,504 posts	0 DeeGee I ran a series of four marathons last year, for about as much in total as I paid this year to enter Brighton. We got a plaque for completing, and I seem to recall a Mars bar after one of them. Ran another off-road "marathon" and got a certificate and soup. Entry was about five quid. I'm perfectly happy with that. Pay less and race more, rather than collecting tat.

Fro our point of view shirts are a form of advertising you wear it running you are promoting us. its also a form of "hey look what Ive run" I wear my Southdowns mara tshrt to the gym to make me look ace. Might get winner printed on the back for a laugh. Anyway does anyone know where we can get Buffs or Buff alikes made???

lazydaisy Jan 2013 8:18am, 21 Jan 2013 2,561 posts	0 lazydaisy Best goody bag contained a small plastic Shotz bottle, which is small enough to fit in a running pouch or back pocket but carries just enough water for me to sip when I'm out. Prize for so near yet so far memento - a pair of bright red fleecy gloves which came in one size only - humongous Prize for useful but smirk inducing memento - a mini roll of Andrex loo paper Otherwise, no cotton T's thanks, I have enough to wear while decorating to see me through decades of stripping and painting

DeeGee Jan 2013 8:24am, 21 Jan 2013 13,506 posts	0 DeeGee I've said on here a few times. I'd rather pay a few quid less, but get a distinctive race number with the race name and year on it and a chance to download some photographs of me running, for free. Those will do me as mementos.
