You may have spoken too soon - it looks like the RMT still plan to strike on the DLR that weekend. No doubt, using the disruption to the Marathon as their bargaining chip.

If DLR is closed it's still only about 1km away from Canning Town station.

I've got work experience on the day of the R15 but I should be finished in time to get to the pub for some darts.

This time my Dad & I will be bringing someone new along who currently has a broken ankle and is in one of those restraining boot things, so we won't be doing any running in this one even if we wanted to!

The draw for this round has just been conducted and therefore I can announce the start station is HAMPSTEAD. Meet outside the station building.

No stampeding down the 320 stairs now!! :lol:

Is that the actual number of stairs, or the number TfL say there are?

But that's only equivalent to a 15 story building.

Are you aware, maybe you are, that the London Marathon Expo is at the ExCeL centre then?
Perhaps all the runners will be at the Parkrun on their way to the exhibition.
I doubt too many runners will be at the parkrun only an idiot would do parkrun and an R26 the day before a marathon.

Oh wait I did 4 years ago.

See you all Saturday.

After the debacles in the last two rounds when the vital pages covering Brondesbury and Willesden were found to be missing, I have now purchased a new A to Z!

Seconded form me :(

I will be doing a Parkrun this Saturday but as I am coming down from Birmingham in the morning, it will most likely be Highbury Fields. Better re-learn how to count to 5...
