The Santa Fun Run & The 'Mount Kili' Googie Burger - Tuesday 2nd November 2010

Today I contacted the organisers of the Folkestone Santa Fun Run to see what the latest date for registering is and I'm pleased to say that it's actually the day of the run.  Although we can discuss it more at the get together and register earlier  I think this would be a brilliant opportunity for the group to start off our fundraising! We should also walk it rather than run as this is how the climb will be, walking not running!  

The route is approximately 5-6km which equates to just over 3 miles, if we can't manage this then there is no hope for us! lol   

The website is www.santasfunrun.org.uk, it's £10 to register, this reserves your place at the Start and your FREE Santa Suit and Finishers medal. You can also opt to pay 50% towards the Folkestone Channel Rotary Club's charity and 50% towards your own. The date of the run is Sunday 5th December 2010. 

Keith at Googies has kindly offered to create a burger especially to help with fundraising, so the 'Mount Kili' Googies burger has been discussed on the Facebook group and may now possibly become a part of a 'cook off' competition.  T shirts with logos have also been suggested.  I'm meeting with Keith this week to discuss these ideas plus more, the bonus being I also get to have a yummy Googies burger. 

I've also been in touch with a local media contact who is interested in possibly doing an article on the mountain climbing thaaang!  More to follow on this when details of our get together are established. 

Some more links have been posted on the group today, one is a blog that includes video diary clips and another one that has excellent tips.   If you  research anything that you think might be good to share please don't forget to post them on the group wall, thank you to everyone who has done so far!  

Finally, its good to see more people joining the group who seem very enthusiastic, it's getting very exciting!
