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

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.

Absolutely :)
Fancy doing one in the Spring?

So, as someone who is fat, unfit, puny and really really scared of heights, do you reckon I would be able to do the Wolf run next summer or autumn if I started training now?

standingonlego · 02/11/2014 22:08

Doh! Of course!!! How did it go geek - fabulous weather for it :)

feetheart · 02/11/2014 21:58

Was Winter Wolef this weekend :)

standingonlego · 02/11/2014 19:21

GeekLove · 29/10/2014 15:07

Hello!

3 days and counting for me! I am glad that there haven't been any frosts in this neck of the woods! Arooooooo!!

I got a free place at Rock Solid Race for next year as thanks for helping this year so June WOLF would be best for me as Rock Solid is in September too.

One of my work colleagues is doing the Winter Wolf. As he's one of those Spartan nutjobs, I reckon I'll give it a miss. However, I am up for the Insane Terrain X-country (no obstacles) at Ickworth House near Bury St Eds at the end of Nov.

GeekLove · 03/10/2014 12:36

I was planning on signing up today before all the places go!

GeekLove · 03/10/2014 12:36

IF you are planning a winter run there isn't much time to register if it is the WOLF run in November - but I'm in!

VICTA seem to have the lowest sponsorship threshold of £1300. Link

I have also found this website which matches runners with charity places: www.crunch.org.uk/

BigfootFiles · 01/10/2014 18:25

Aw, gutted for you Crockery. I think there are still places available through certain charities who "buy" places - someone I know did it through Shelter last year. Looks like you have to pay £100 and pledge to raise £2k (!!) with them though - British Heart Foundation seem to have the same deal. Shelter link BHF link

Macmillan don't seem (on first glance) to have fees or targets, though I guess they must screen applications somehow. Macmillan

I'm a VLM reject Sad

I did the 10k Insane Terrain today - not as tough as the Wolf Run, and not as fun, in that to do the 10k distance you had to do two circuits. So you knew what the obstacles would be second time round. Did it a lot quicker than the Wolf Run too. Still, I like the t-shirt and medal!

BigfootFiles · 20/09/2014 20:15

Winter Run looks good but clashes with a family birthday. I am warming up to the idea of the June Wolf though...

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 19/09/2014 19:37

I have recruited another polar bear runner (a RL friend who is also a parkrunner - I was the evil friend who introduced her to c25K Grin)

Sometime in October - everyone gets a magazine apparently, either an "Oh shit Well done you got in" one or a "Sorry, not this time" one. I do want to do it but if I do get the former there will be a lot of swearing :)

Will mention Ohone's birthday Winter Run on the runner's thread and see if we get some more interest.

Blatherskite · 15/09/2014 09:37

Lifts sound good. I'm not sure I can come up with another good reason not to do it Wink

If it's someone dressed in one of those big animal suits then I will rugby tackle them if they try to hug me.

I'm tempted by that winter run. Particularly intrigued by the polar bear hugs.
