On the weekend of 11-12 October 2008 runners from around the world will 'virtually' come together to celebrate their passion for the sport they love by running The Worldwide Festival of Races Half Marathon, 10K and 5K distances. This race is a free, non-commercial event for runners of all abilities, where everyone is invited to register, train and run with us in the spirit of friendship. The only requirement is that you sign-up to run an official road race or a route of your choosing on the weekend of 11-12 October 2008, and report the results on this website. Participation in the race will also include a 'virtual' race bib, goody bag and completion certificate as well as a community forum and final results listing.
Free is always good so I figured why not stretch out my planned 18km long run to a half marathon distance. Hard to "race" on my own but it should be a good fun run. It'll be a route of my choosing of course.
Here is my "virtual" race bib - what do you know lucky number 1142 :)
Here is the "course" I'm planning on doing...something like 21.4km but its hard to get it exact when you are just clicking points on a map.
Going to try for an early start...

That looks like a great route. Good luck.
How cool is that ... just because you read my blog you get to suffer for a little longer this morning!
I look forward to the race report.
