This year it's being held on October 11 / 12. The way it works is that you sign up for the event, and then run it on the nominated weekend somewhere in your local area, and post your results back to the website. I thought it would be great if a number of us enter the event...and run it at exactly the same time where ever possible. This way you know that when you're running, a fellow C25K member will be running along with you. To try and make the time of day as reasonable as possible for most members, the following is what I suggest our start times should be: West Coast USA: Sat 11/10/2008 2:00 PM East Coast USA: Sat 11/10/2008 5:00 PM United Kingdom: Sat 11/10/2008 10:00 PM Western Australia: Sun 12/10/2008 5:00 AM East Coast Australia: Sun 12/10/2008 8:00 AM To find out your starting time if you're in a timezone other than the ones listed, click here. In the date field, select October 11 2008, for Location 1 select United States New York, for Location 2 select your own location. Then click Submit. Next scroll down to the New York time of Sat 28/06/2008 5:00 PM* . Your local time will be displayed next to it...that's your start time. To signup, go to the Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon Challenge, and Kick the Couch 5k website at http://www.worldwidehalf.com. It's totally free. Also click on the Teams Link, and join the C25Kcom team I have setup. Committing to an event is great motivation to keep training!

For the training log, you need to sign up for Buckeyedoutdoors in the registration process: "In registering for the Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon (and "Kick the Couch" 5K), you have the option of creating a free training program account on the BuckeyeOutdoors Training Site." Last year I registered for buckeyed later, but had to get someone to add me to the training logs manualy.    Report

I joined your running team, Knoddie, but will probably be doing different training at different times (since we're 1/4 around the world from each other...) This will be fun. I'll have my family set up a water station for me to run by ;-) Check out the Christian Indie C25K Podcast...    Report

But if you can't run at the same time during the race, that's cool. Rob    Report
