Zone 1 Challenge Cup 2021

Post by tangy »

Let's kick start the alternative challenges again...

Who would be interested or willing to participate in the Zone 1 Challenge Cup on its planned date of Friday 4th June?

Opinions and suggestions welcome.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

As long as we're in the next step out of lockdown by then, I'd be fine with it.

I think the likelihood of mask wearing going by 4th June is low, there may be more of a chance by 21st June

Looking at the past timings on ExplorerTicket, I'm trying to work out how I'm currently 4th on the Bottle Challenge League Table, but 300th on the Zone One!

I know the event has been somewhat of a bete noire to me, but still....

I don't mind wearing a mask throughout. In fact, even if we do it after 21st June I'll probably wear a mask for most, if not all, of it.

Zone One has always been a bit of an achilles heel for me, only had one clean run which was Z1 Cup in 2019 from about 5 or 6 attempts...

Once mask wearing on the tube is no longer compulsory I’m happy to challenge running in a mask is not fun.

I think there will be a lot more parkruns on the list this week.
