Running a half marathon for Fair Play for Women

Well, I needed a bit of training motivation, and this half marathon along the Thames in November looked interesting... and then I thought, why not do it for Fair Play for Women & run in a top with their logo on the front & Transgender Trend on the back?

So now I'm all signed up & planning my training schedule (10K is my usual max right now).

Eek.

I'll donate when the time comes! Good luck and good training!

Absolutely bloody marvellous. I'm working towards a 10k so am in total awe of anyone who can do a half marathon. Even more awesome that you've picked such a brilliant charity. Tell every bugger who will listen who you are running for and why. Bloody good for you Smile

Thank you!!!!

Because of what happened with Transgender Trend I decided it would be easiest to just ask people to donate via PayPal on the FPFW website & put Empress / my real name as a reference.

I'll post updates as the training continues Grin. Good luck with the 10K Lotta!

Great idea!

I'll donate too. Good work Smile

I'll donate.

Get #SexNotGender on your vest.

If you're really brave you could put #WrongSideOfHistoryMyArse on there too - but I doubt it will fit Grin

LangCleg · 14/06/2018 19:11

I'll donate now and when you've done it - keep us updated!

EmpressOfSpartacus · 14/06/2018 19:50

Thank you all so much! I'll keep updating the thread.

ToeToToe I'm 4'11, I can only fit so much on! Grin

Wow 10K. That's great.

Great idea tempted to get a similar feminist cycle top but wouldn't put it past an aggrieved bloke to do a hit and run job on me and if I'm racing I have to wear club colours.

EmpressOfSpartacus · 14/06/2018 21:19

Well, I looked at all the women (& Men Fridays) doing amazing stuff & thought I could do this.

(But it's a weekend. So I will be running as a woman.)

I'll post a picture of the top once I've got it made up.
