Who fancies 10km of mud and obstacles? Come and join Team Wolef

EauRouge · 14/01/2014 09:33

Quite a few of us are interested in doing the Wolf Run this September so we were thinking of getting a team together.

It's for all abilities, it should be really good fun. It's not timed and it'll be too wet to wear your Garmin, so don't worry if you're not a fast runner. We'll be a team and no Wolef will be left behind.

It's on the 6th & 7th of September just south of Coventry, so fairly central. If we get a team together we get a slightly discounted entry.

If you're interested, post on here and we'll start making a list.

We also need to pick a charity so if everyone wants to suggest their favourite one and then we can argue about it for ages with no firm decision being made.

So, I'm in and my favourite charity is the Birth Trauma Association.

Just popping by to see if everyone else had got the start time and instructions email, glad to see others have too. This thread keeps dropping off "threads I'm on" for some reason.

Sorry to hear you won't make it EauRouge. :( Hope your physio appointment helps, ongoing constant pain is just draining. Much sympathy to you.

I'd like a t-shirt too please, will PM now. Are we doing wolf ears or are they going to be too impractial to wear whilst crawling under nets/leaping into water/flailing from monkey bars/whatever?

Crockery · 06/08/2014 11:32

Is everyone having a team wolef shirt too run in on the day? (They look fab by the way) if yes, I'll have one too.

GeekLove · 06/08/2014 09:07

Hello Crockery! Look forward to meeting you!

I am taking the consensus that the National Autistic Society will be our Charity!

Also do you want an exclusive Team Wolef T-shirt?

Crockery · 06/08/2014 08:40

National Autistic Society great charity. Very happy to howl for that

Crockery · 06/08/2014 06:32

Hello team wolef, lego's friend here, finally joined the thread. I'm 5'4" but I'm not short sighted, hope that doesn't disqualify me...
Ok at running but rubbish upper body strength, nonexistent core-balance and scared of heights.
Had great fun reading the thread, can't wait to meet you all Smile

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 05/08/2014 23:51

Eau so sorry to hear you are still in pain - I was thinking I hadn't "seen" you for ages on the running thread.

Has everyone else had their instructions?

Well it's looking increasingly unlikely that I won't be able to do this. Got another physio appointment next week but I'm still in pain most of the time. Haven't been running for nearly 4 months now, I'm so fucking sick of this.

The charity consensus is an issue - The National Autistic Society seems to have the most votes - are people happy with that if I set up a justgiving thingy for it?

Also I have 3 people for t-shirts so far - red as a base colour is the consensus so far. Plan is for people who want one to send me their requirements - I pass them on and I will receive the t-shirts for distribution on the day.

Cost for each t-shirt is £7.5 -£10 each. I will ask for money when all that want one has sent me their requirements.

Zeitgei5t · 02/08/2014 07:41

I have (hopefully!) Just PMed you. (Let me know if you don't get it).

There doesn't really seem to be a consensus on which charity so suggest maybe we just set up our own justgiving/ charity collections individually?

GeekLove · 30/07/2014 23:52

Ahem! I will need numbers and sizing before the middle of August so please PM me if you want a tshirt.

Thanks in advance!

GeekLove · 30/07/2014 07:41

Right!
Quotes I have got for t-shirts are £7.5-£10 per shirt.
I was thinking light blue or red for the T-shirt with the artwork in black and white.

Can people PM me with their approximate size if they want a tshirt? I need orders in by the end of next week!

Also how is the charity voting? I want to set up a Just Giving account.

I'm happy to do either, but I still need to pay someone for the entry fee and I can't remember who! Lego? OhOne?

Still not been running but I've been working on my core and upper body loads and I'm starting to look really badass.

Zeitgei5t · 23/07/2014 14:16

Do we need to decide on one charity or could we set up a couple of justgiving pages or do that bit individually as it looks quite spread across the board?

Geeklove I will have a tee if it's not too pricey. Also saw you're in cov, whereabouts? I'm on the canley side.

Bigfoot its not too bad at about 5.30 am (!) I have to run before the little one wakes. When does everyone else get chance to exercise? Struggling a bit to fit training in.

BigfootFiles · 21/07/2014 12:29

How's everyone coping with exercising in this heat? It's so humid and horrible, it is not inspiring me to get out there and run!

GeekLove · 11/07/2014 13:09

Are people happy with the following?

So far we have:

Birth Trauma Trust
Bliss 1
Winston's Wish 1
National Autism Society 11
Action on Pre-Eclampsia

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 11/07/2014 00:11

Well done Geek!

GeekLove · 10/07/2014 10:17

Here are the final designs for the Wolef tshirts

I will check out printers and come out with quotes - colour schemes

I'll go with NAS if that's the majority. I'm hoping I'll be less injured by the day, but I might be quite slooooow. And I still haven't given anyone any money. Who do I need to send it to? I've forgotten.

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 06/07/2014 20:30

Sorry - fell off the thread. I would love a tee shirt and have no particular preference for charity.

GeekLove · 20/06/2014 19:41

I will be checking out printers in Coventry but will also check out the suggested contact - will post with more information soon.

So far we have:

Birth Trauma Trust
Bliss 1
Winston's Wish 1
National Autism Society 11
Action on Pre-Eclampsia

BigfootFiles · 19/06/2014 21:54

For me on a personal level, it would be Bliss or the National Autism Society. But I don't mind running for any of the others. Maybe we should put the charity name on the T-shirt too, once it's decided?

Are we having Wolef names on the back, or MN user names? If the former, the tallest member of the pack should be Big Bad Wolef, surely. Grin I should probably be Dire Wolef, going on today's monkey-bar shambles - though I am reassured to hear lots of people struggle with it, thanks aquavit.

feetheart · 18/06/2014 09:10

I definitely want a t-shirt.

Do you have anywhere to get them printed because if not I may have a contact?

GeekLove · 17/06/2014 19:13

I will do some more formatting to get front and back pieces for the tshirts - can people let me know who is interested so I can get some idea of numbers.

Votes so far:

Birth Trauma Trust
Bliss
Winston's Wish 1
National Autism Society 1
Action on Pre-Eclampsia
