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.

Oh, lordy! I've just been watching the videos of previous runs again and it's sinking in Shock

Off to buy a 'holdy-on' thing for my glasses - really can't manage without them and am now fretting.

Like the t-shirts though. If I turn up to parkrun in one of those will they think I'm hard :)

standingonlego · 01/09/2014 22:02

I lost you all for some reason, but back now!
Geek thank you for all your vision on the t-shirts, was just not to be this time. The real WOLF T-shirts look ace by the way :)

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday :)

Fishandjam · 01/09/2014 20:02

Sounds a good plan!

BigfootFiles · 01/09/2014 16:44

Looks like you can either set up a team page which is just a regular fundraising page that lists all of the teams names in the story section, or you can set up a team page which sort of acts like a hub for individual pages - justgiving.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200669511-A-guide-to-team-pages.

Given we're 5 days shy of the event, shall we just do our own pages? I think we need a bit more detail to be able to do a team page properly, e.g. how many of us are there in total, why that particular charity, what it means to us etc. It's feeling like more hassle to do that than set up an individual one.

The downside is we won't have an overall total but I don't think MNHQ are expecting a joint total or anything, and we're not running in anything MN branded so I don't think we're "answerable" as such.

Fishandjam · 01/09/2014 16:08

I set up a page but it's got my name on - not a group one (didn't know you could do group ones).

BigfootFiles · 31/08/2014 19:47

Do we have a Justgiving group page for fundraising? Could I be PM'd too if so? Otherwise I'll crank up my own page in the next day or so - time to start bugging people!

GeekLove · 30/08/2014 23:00

Hi! can someone PM me details for the JustGiving Group? I need to stir up enthusiasm at work - 1 week to go!

Fishandjam · 30/08/2014 20:12

I had a look online for fancy dress wolf ears (as discussed upthread a while back) but most of the stores appear to have been cleaned out! Maybe others have had the same idea Grin

GeekLove · 30/08/2014 11:02

Having checked the prices - £20 was rather higher than I thought I was going to get them done for. The demand is not sufficient so I don't think I can go ahead with the T-shirts.

Thanks for all your support though!

See you all next week!

feetheart · 27/08/2014 17:39

Sorry, thread seemed to disappear from watch list.

Geek - if it's not too late I'll have to drop out of the t-shirt as well, really can't justify £20

Off to find Facebook group and annoy people there :)

Did some push-ups and plank last night for first time in several weeks - I'm not going to develop superb upper body strength in under 2 weeks am I?

Need to get a stretchy thing to hold my glasses on

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 26/08/2014 19:07

Sorry, 20 quid is a bit steep for me too.

Blathers - I don't think we get the official one until we've finished!

BigfootFiles · 26/08/2014 11:39

I'll have to duck out of the t-shirts, I'm afraid. £20 is a bit steep for me, sorry.

Fishandjam · 26/08/2014 09:50

I'd still like a T-shirt - I'll wear it for bootcamp! (It is a tech fabric one isn't it, rather than just ordinary cotton?) Size 14/M.

Blatherskite · 25/08/2014 22:48

White t-shirts are going to get totally ruined in the mud so £20 seems a bit much for something that's only going to get worn once. I think I'd rather stick with the dri-fit official t-shirt as it'll be more comfortable on the day. Sorry Geek.

Crockery · 25/08/2014 22:16

Sorry Geek, £20 too much for me

GeekLove · 25/08/2014 20:09

Fishandjam - thanks for setting up Just Giving.

News on the t-shirts - They cannot do black and white line art on red, which was what I thought it would.

THe t-shirts will be white with black line art and will be £20 each if anyone is still interested. I have numbers and sizes and want to place the order ASAP

Is everybody running on the 7th? IF so I will bring them then. For details on payment please PM me.

Thanks for your patience!

Zeitgei5t · 24/08/2014 07:26

Hiya also happy to carshare with anyone but only coming from coventry so I realise there's not many places en route.

BigfootFiles · 22/08/2014 20:50

Sounds like a plan, Fish! I'll PM you.

Fishandjam · 22/08/2014 18:21

bigfoot, I wouldn't be hanging round afterwards either. Shall we carshare? If you're going A14/M6 we can meet en route?

BigfootFiles · 22/08/2014 17:10

I am in the Cambs area and could offer a lift, but it's looking like I won't be able to hang around for too long afterwards before heading home.

Reassured by both the 4/10 and that Fish is getting knackered doing 5k - me too! I picked up an injury (now fine) but meant I had 3 weeks doing not very much at all, so training has gone backwards. Won't be as fit as I would like but will be fit enough to get round, I reckon (monkey bars notwithstanding).

Fishandjam · 22/08/2014 13:23

Unless anyone else is in the vicinity of Cambs and needs a lift, I'll see you all there!

I've set up a JustGiving page but in my name - not sure if that would be any good for others to donate to.

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 21/08/2014 19:01

OK, will tell DH not to come.

Blathers that would be great.

Blatherskite · 21/08/2014 13:45

H (not so D at the moment) will be home with the children. OhOne, I could pick you up on my way past if you like?

Fishandjam · 21/08/2014 11:14

My DH will be looking after the kids while I swan off to get muddy Grin

Crockery · 21/08/2014 10:59

'Him' being ex-DH!
