We try not to send you too much e-mail and save it up so as not to
spam you. Follow us on Twitter or our website for changes as they
happen: http://www.goodwoodmarathon.co.uk/latestnews.cgi
*Change in 2009 - The DUAL!*
Last year we introduced the Mega race at a massive 101.26 km, while it
was popular we did feel guilty that some racers didn't have a chance
to finish due to the time. This year we have changed it to the DUAL
at at 22 laps which is 53.24 miles or 85.68 km. It is a perfect
double marathon and certainly no mean feat. Are you brave enough to
take it on?
*The NSPCC*
We are proud to be supporting the NSPCC (The National Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children) again this year, they have helped
us a lot with our event and are a very friendly charity to work with.
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. We 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.

*Sponsorship*
You all raised so much for charity last year (over £13,000) 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. There have been some amazing stories of people
using our event as part of bigger or team sponsorship, do let us know
and we will try and post details on our site.

*Pictures are better than words*
In case you need a reminder of the fun last year or are wondering what
you missed then we now have a video online from last years event. As
you can see the event is perfect for wheels of all shapes and sizes
(although round are usually better) and every skill level.

*Not everyone is online*
I know it's shocking but not everyone is online or has access to
e-mail and the web. We have tried hard to make sure that paper
versions of all the forms as well as posters/flyers are available
online for you to print out yourselves. Please help us by printing
out some posters, flyers or forms 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 then please give us a shout and we'll
pop some in the post to you.

*Spread the word*
We would really appreciate your help publicising this event, while we
have a fantastic group of skater pixies working behind the scenes to
let the right people know of our event, you can help out too. If you
have a blog, a forum or even another mailing list then please post
details. If your a Twitter or Facebook user then do follow us, become
a fan and join our event. Of course, if you have any good
leads/contacts for people we should be talking to then please send
them our way :-)
