The Forest of Dean Half

We would be grateful if you could promote our Spring Half Marathon to your members.

Despite being one of the least expensive half marathons to enter, we repeatedly get great reviews and provide a quality race in a traffic free environment. With entries in excess of 2500 and run entirely by volunteers we raised over £38000 (2012) for various charities and good causes.

By giving you a great race we can make a huge difference to others.

Please could you add the event to your club diary, pass this Email to your members and if possible display the attached poster.

London Marathon 2014

WRP Tours is currently busy with bookings for our 25th consecutive tour to this event. We will again be using 5 hotels in central London.

Recently, we have had contact from 2 local running groups – one wishing to use our coach from Bristol and another planning to bring their own mini bus. We can offer free parking at our main hotel for both coaches and mini buses.

If the club or individuals within the club have been lucky enough to gain places in the 2014 London Marathon but have yet to make their weekend arrangements, WRP Tours would be pleased to discuss how we might meet their/your requirements. This could be for a 1, 2 or 3 night stay. 

All the hotels are experienced in the needs of our runners and their spectators. WRP Tours add complimentary tours of the start and finish plus marathon advice clinics taken by staff who have run the event many times and two of them have also worked on it.

For anyone within your club seeking to achieve a fast time, co-organiser Roland Gibbard (2h 20m) is available over the weekend for last minute individual coaching or advice.

Race day starts with a full buffet breakfast from 05.45 followed by coach transfer to the start for all…..and then a spectator coach service back into central London once the race has started. Post race we automatically include shower facilities, masseurs as well as a buffet for both runners and spectators.

We have attached a copy of our 2014 promotional flyer. Currently, WRP Tours provide this service both to charities and to other clubs and we would be delighted if we could be of help to any of your club members.

With best wishes,

John Joyner, Roland Gibbard, Caroline Rowlands
