Shakespeare SPRING 100 - 7 April 2013

[robgul]

Early season 100km from Stratford-upon-Avon Park & Ride - all the details and online entry at www.shakespeare100.org.uk

We sold out last year, we're approaching a sell out already for 2013 (having added 100 extra places)

Free parking at the start.
Early sign-on Saturday evening to avoid the queues on Sunday
Fully signed route and GPS files
New for 2013 we'll have Strava segments
New feed station for this year (but the same team is helping so should be up to the usual high standards!)

Sorry - we've SOLD OUT on the event ... we're trying to open up some more entries - there's a wait list at www.shakespeare100.org.uk that will have priority.

!!! Brian : slight change of plan, we'll have to post your jersey to you .. in the next day or two

Glad I booked early. There's about 4 of us in the newbie progress thread in the beginner section (including myself and Brian) who are signed up. Looking forward to it.

Any idea when the route will be confirmed?

 

[robgul]

Route will be published about 7 days before the event (all entrants will be sent an Instruction e-mail) - we have to check for any road works or closures as close as we can to the date.

It's no good hoping Saintbury Hill won't be used James, we need to crack it beforehand.
