New Balance Jinqiao 8k for Roots and Shoots – April 10th
It’s time for you all to dust off the lycra and your running shoes to get back out on the streets of Shanghai.
The New Balance Jinqiao 8k (or the equivalent of running 398 runs) is on Sunday April 10th and should be a walk in the park for us elite sportsmen.
There is also a 2k fun run so if you fancy bringing the family out then you might want to do that one.
The main charity partner for the race is our very own Roots and Shoots so as part of the build up to the new season we should get as many of us out there to support this race and sink a shed load of beers afterwards or during to celebrate. 10% of the entry fee goes to Roots and Shoots but as usual we can do better than that so if you do commit we need you to round up sponsorship from your nearest and dearest.
The registration is open until this Friday 25th March so I need to know in the next couple of days if you are up for it. Entrance is 100rmb a pop so let me know below if you want to take part.
If you are already signed up let me know so we can get a full list together.
I will update closer to the race the location of the warm down beers.
Get involved!

Yea mate - its probably about time I went for a run again. count me in and Hannah will also get her run on.
I'm up for the Pure Blond challenge. We need 8 supporters at 1km intervals to act as refreshment stops. Chug a beer at each on and crawl over the line. Easy!
Sarah and I have already signed up, and will be representing BISS. Obviously keen to make sure the Bashers make a loud statement at the event as well - so will the floppy cap and blazer may accompany me on the run
I'm in to blow out some cobwebs. I'll be even more keen for the Pure blonde challenge!
I'm in for the Pure Blonde Challenge... Is there a time limit for this race? I dont want this to be another Shanghai marathon!
isn't 8k about as far as you got in the marathon Sinbad? which means it will probably take you about the same amount of time...
I am in. Hope for a good Bashers turnout to support Roots and Shoots.
I got to 12K thank u very much....
Entries done. Full team list is Latex, Stats, Mrs Stats, Sir Dick, Lady Dick, Pusher, Cranky, Swahili, Bugs and Oscar. Are we going to do this in full kit?
Dear Latex, The Stats' are already registered - so there may be two too many spots. Anyone else keen? Come on - weather will be beautiful and it is for a great cause
