We hear from Sidney DeLara again – not quite as far afield as Germany but clearly not a man prey to travel sickness.. up in London… he says….
… Had the Vegan Runners Vest on for this one. “The Serpentine Hyde Park Last Friday of the Month 5k”.
You meet at the Hyde Park Bandstand about midday for 12:30pm start. It only costs £2 but you must enter directly after each race to be sure of getting a place as it is limited to about 200 runners each month. There is a split start the “A” start for sub 22mins runners and “B” start for over 22mins. Results up same day.
The paths of Hyde park provide a good running surface and its fairly flat, you take in a circuit of the Serpentine lake. Today though it was unexpectedly windy so times were a bit slow.
So come on all you London Vegan Runners who can fit in a Friday lunchtime 5k register now.
Sidney DeLara. 48th overall 206 runners

[obviously if you are as fast as SdL there is more time for showering & lunch afterwards ! But over so short a distance as 5k the differences don’t add up to much – Ed]
