I did the Big 10k race here in Sept and for that too we had to pay town centre parking. The race info on the website which is there to read prior to entering does make it clear. I hope after the race you will agree that the great location for the start / finish and the race itself makes it worth paying the premium parking rates. Willdowney, the parking details are on the website - I think under the FAQs and / or 'useful info for runners' - something like £4 for 4 hours in the main ones - the riverside is the most convenient for the finish and should be space, but plenty of car parks are signposted around town with vols of available spaces. From memory you will need coins for the machines, certainly on the riverside.

Mainly flat though. Weather forecast seems to be changing by the day - now showing poss showers from the start, but temp looks good and wind fairly light, although has switched from west to east so now against us down the greenway, but light enough that it shouldn't be an issue. Won't take it too seriously until tmrw evening.

Watford Wobble Apr 2014 7:36pm, 26 Apr 2014 3,279 posts	0 Watford Wobble Looking forward tomorrow. Unfortunately due to a niggly cold I'll not be racing this but just a slow long run. Pleased the medal is a cracker. Don't normally get anything after a long run so this will make a change.
