LIFESTYLE RENAULTTUNBRIDGE WELLSHALF MARATHONTunbridge Wells Harriers have beenorganising the Tunbridge Wellshalf marathon since 1983. Thirtyyears on, the race is one of the mostpopular in the South East attractingalmost 3000 entrants. Next year it takesplace on Sunday 24th February 2013.Back in 1983 things were verydifferent. Only 53 runners (including6 women) lined up to take part in theinaugural event. But thanks to therunning boom of the eighties, by 1986the event was attracting close to1000 runners.Even though the race is now 30 yearsold and much bigger, the ethos remainsthe same as it was in 1983. The event isorganised ‘by runners, for runners’ andhas a strong community spirit involvinglocal groups, sponsors and businesses.But there have also been manychallenges over the years. In 2005 therace was cancelled due to heavyovernight snowfall – a huge blow aftermonths of hard work. 2009 then saw theworst weather conditions in the historyof the race with extensive flooding andgale force winds. The race went aheadwith some heroic efforts from bothrunners and marshals alike.Organisational costs have increasedyear on year, with the 2012 eventcosting a staggering £48,000, but theevent has still managed to donate over£90,000 to various charities over thelast 6 years.Back in 1983, there were no roadclosures, panto horses, rhinos, goodybags, timing chips, technical t-shirts orcelebrity starters. It cost £3.50 to enter,everyone was a club member andsponges were given out on the course.Today only 22% of the field is‘affiliated’, it costs £24 and runnershave to enter months in advance. Thereis even a prize for the best fancy dressrunner. And there are no spongesanymore! How times change.Visit www.twharriers.org.ukTEAM BREAST CANCER CAREAre you running London, Brighton or Edinburgh Marathon this year?Join Team Breast Cancer Care toreceive fantastic support from themoment you sign up and help us tocontinue to be there for anyone affectedby breast cancer.
