She's blind and her guide runner has had to pull out at the last minute. She expects to be able to get round the course in 2 hours 30. Is there anyone on here who would be able to help her? She'd need picking up from either Stratford or Barking station or she's based in Southend if that would be easier. She's a really nice girl and the guide running part isn't at all hard (even Stander has done it!)

Battlecat Mar 2013 9:04pm, 2 Mar 2013 3,005 posts	0 Battlecat No, not yet and we've been asking around the local running clubs too. The problem is tomorrow is a big clash of races in the Essex area, including a county championship race so everyone I can think of is already entered in one of them
