Subject: [Goodwood Marathon] Start getting excited...
Yes the Goodwood Roller Marathon is ramping up for launch day! :-)
*The NSPCC*
This year we are proud to be supporting the NSPCC (The National Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children). We're sure you have heard of all the good
work they do providing services for children and families, raising public
awareness of child issues and changing the law's to protect children. I hope
you will help us support this good cause. You can get sponsored (more below) or
donate directly, either through the website or on the day.

*Three Races*
That's right, we have listened to your feedback from last year and this year
there will be three races of three different lengths. Obviously we are slightly
limited to whole laps of the Goodwood motor circuit which unfortunately doesn't
make particularly round numbers but we're sure you can round them up or down to
impress your friends :-p
- The Full marathon is 11 laps = 26.62 miles = 42.84 km
- The Midi marathon is 5 laps = 12.10 miles = 19.47 km
- The Mini marathon is 2 laps = 4.84 miles = 7.74 km
Hopefully this year all members of the family can take part, that is our aim.
Pricing for the Mini marathon will be cheaper and all spectators are now free of
charge so invite friends to come and cheer you all on.
*Sponsorship*
Registration may not be open (quite) yet however that doesn't stop you starting
to get sponsored. You all raised so much for charity last year and this year we
want to raise even more. You can start an online sponsorship page through
JustGiving or print out the paper sponsorship forms we have made up for you.
More details are on our website. Please feel free to contact us if you have any
problems or questions, we can pass things on to the charity if required.

*Posters/Flyers*
Available now and in three sizes! We realise that not everyone is online (such
a shame) so please help us out by printing out some posters or flyers to pin up
or hand out at your local roller related gatherings :-) If you need large
numbers and don't have a (work) photocopier to abuse them please give us a shout
and we'll pop some in the post to you.

as possible for you. We will post up to the mailing list as soon as you can
