TEAM LOWDOWN @ THE RUN'10 - THE FINAL UPDATE
Hi Everyone!
Hi Everyone!
Here is the absolute final update before Sunday's big event. If anyone has any last minute questions please contact Richard on (07727) 648779 after 1pm (Sat) - Thanks!
SAINSBURY'S SUPPORT: Sainsbury's (Weedon Road) will be MATCHING POUND FOR POUND all monies collectively raised by Team Lowdown... eg. If you raise £50, they will match that with another £50 = £100 total - Thank You Sainsbury's !!!
RUN PACKS: All should have now received. If you have NOT received by Saturday midday, then we recommend you collect a new race pack from Sixfields on Saturday between 3pm - 5pm. If you're unable get to Sixfields on Saturday, then it's possible to collect a replacement race pack on Sunday from the Enquiries tent - but please expect long delays on race morning.
WEATHER & CLOTHING: Forecast 15˚C with slight chance of light rain - hopefully will hold off until 1230… Organizers suggest people wear old t-shirts whilst waiting to start then discard these at start line (they will clear them up). Alternatively we will have The Lowdown van close by so jackets could be left there? There is also bag storage & changing/wash facilities at Sixfields Stadium. We would love to have The Lowdown shirts visible as you are running so worth considering a long sleeve t-shirt beneath?
WARM-UP, GROUP PHOTOS & T-SHIRTS: We hope as many people as possible will join the warm-up with Coach Anthony at Sainsbury's (Weedon Rd) 8.45am prompt. FREE Parking is available at Sainsbury's for Team Lowdown & Matt will have cards to display on dashboards. When you enter the car park, head straight to the bottom and try and park in the lanes along the wall or opposite that if possible. T-Shirts will be available here & also at The Lowdown stand in the Community Marquee (near Start line). Sainsbury's will provide water & a cereal/energy bar to our participants.
RUNNING TAGS: The tags that 5k & 10k runners & walkers fix to their shoes MUST be put in the designated collection bins afterwards or you may be asked to pay for these by the run organizers.
AFTER EVENT: We have an area reserved for Team Lowdown + friends/family inside The Hungry Horse @ Sixfields for 40+ people from 12.30-4pm - please pop along for a bite to eat & drink after if you can (own expense)… they even do Sunday Lunch 2 for £10/£12 deals !!!
FUNDRAISING & SPONSORSHIP: We know that it can be difficult to ask for sponsorship but we hope to raise at least £2,100 (to celebrate The Lowdown's 21st Anniversary) so any final efforts you can make over the next 48hours could make a huge difference. If you get a chance to let Dawn or Kim in the Community Marquee know how much you've raised / had pledged it would be greatly appreciated so we can announce an approximate figure on the day.
Good Luck Everyone - See You On Sunday!
