GREAT WALL MARATHON – SAT 21st MAY 2016
Is anyone else interested in doing (note, I deliberately did not say ‘running’!- some of us only walk!) the Great Wall Marathon in May next year? Entries have opened and there is a Rmb200 discount if you enter before 1st December.
In the past, Elia (CP admin) has done a wonderful job of co-ordinating all the extras– from hiring busses, to booking accommodation etc for us, and she has very graciously offered to do the same again this year.
However, you do need to register and pay for the race individually.
The two attachments give you details and costs about the race, as well as the the registration form.
To get an idea of numbers please can you email me, saying whether you are definitely going to participate, or even if are just maybe going to enter, and want to be kept in the loop. Then I will get a group email going with just those teachers involved.
Hope to see you all doing laps round Century Park!
