a quarter marathon is
not that far ...
having run it, yes it bleeping well is! this year my aim is not to get cramp and end up in a bed of nettles - a time in low mid 50 minutes would be good as well! btw a quarter marathon is about 10.5 km which is around 6.5 miles
After a break of about 20 years the Apperley quarter marathon is taking place again with the aim of raising funds for Tewkesbury Hospital which is the Apperley Cricket Club's chosen charity for 2011, and the cricket club itself.
The fun run took place several times in the 1980's with about two hundred runners in each event, including England and Gloucestershire cricketers Bill Athey and Jack Russell. It will incorporate road and cross country running and take in a run down by River Severn and a run (walk or crawl depending on fitness!) past the historic Deerhurst Church. The distance covered will be just over 6 miles.
2010 was a successful re-introduction and we added another 50 runners for 2011 - we are hoping to have 250 runners if possible for the event this year - please tell friends and family.Apperley Cricket Club (www.apperleycc.co.uk) is situated between Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Cheltenham and will provide stewarding, medical support and changing facilities.
There are a number of categories to race for: top male, top female, top junior, top village male parishioner and top female parishioner (Cathy Heard seems to think she has this last category sewn up!)
Thanks to Cathy Heard a map of the course can be found on the course link.We have data from a GARMIN GPS if you are geeky enough to want it!
