My date of birth is 12041951 I am now 60 not 55 Cheers Colin
Thanks for your comment. I’m afraid our oldest age category at the moment is M55 which covers everyone from 55 upwards.
We have had various comments about our age categories this year and last and there do seem to be an increasing number of competitors in these Vet categories. Therefore, our Committee will be reviewing this before next year’s race in conjunction with other race organisers and officials etc.
I hope it didn’t spoil your enjoyment of the race?
Thanks, Susie (Race Organiser)
A big thank you to everyone for organising such a great event. Can’t wait for next year!
I see I’m still under the male category, could I be changed to female? Thanks, had a great day!
You should be of the correct gender now Lesley!
I enjoyed that one with plenty of marshals to direct you and keep you right. The only thing that was more trouble than it was worth was the water station where cups not bottles were used. Most of it is spilt and trying to drink it slows you down. If there is going to be one then bottles would be better. Thanks.
HI Richard, thanks for taking part in the race. Cup v bottles is up for discussion at our post-race meeting. We have always had cups there and bottles at the end, but will review. Susie
Loved the race, thanks for organising it for us. Will be back next year to see if I can beat my time.
Thanks to Penicuick Harriers for another excellent Event and post race feast. I fully intend to be back again next year to bag a decent PB (5 seconds improvement wasn’t quite enough for me this time but like to think the wind was what beat me this time around !). I agree with the earlier comment re the method of water dispensing, and think a small bottle, like that offered at the end, would serve better. Perhaps poly cups are a better “green” option but consideration could be given to bottles and having a few dedicated bins along the second half of the route (next to marshalled positions) for collection. Anyhow thanks again for a super event and superior post race feast – especially well done to the tea and cake ladies ! Hope to see you next year.
Will pass on your thanks to the ‘tea & cake’ ladies as they are now known! We are reviewing the cup/bottle situation for next year. Thanks for taking part!!
I am now 50 years of age and beginning to enjoy my running its all due to the one of the best coaches out of this world like Martin Hayman who has taught athletes by example and not running too fast to begin with. I find Penicuick 10K is a really good challenge for athletes and also for beginners who are still starting out.
