I love the Olympics.
I’ve always dreamed of being an Olympian but unless they add running slowly or endurance sleeping to the list of events then I don’t have much chance.
But…
I’ll be in the first race to finish in the Olympic Stadium in London next year!!!
I entered the ballot for the National Lottery Olympic Park Run and was one of 5,000 lucky people to be selected. It’s a 5 mile run through the London Olympic Park on 31 March 2012.
Open to entrants of all abilities, whether you’re an experienced runner or a novice, the route will pass iconic, world-class venues like the Velodrome and Aquatics Centre and culminates in the first public access to the Olympic Stadium – the centrepiece of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
On the day, a host of past and present Olympic and Paralympic stars will be present – both participating and offering support – as you achieve your own sporting glory on the road to London 2012.
I can’t wait!
Well done on getting a ballot place! I’m running to, I don’t suppose you have a spare spectator ticket? I have a wife & 2 daughters & only 2 tickets! I would be willing to make a charitable donation for the ticket.Thx Kerry
Yes well done and I was lucky to win a ballot place too. I have the same issue as Kerry, a wife and two children but only 2 spectator tickets! I too would be willing to make a charitable donation for an extra spectator ticket if you, or you know of anyone who has one going spare?
Thks James
Hi James & Kerry. Like you I have lots of people who I’d love to take, including my two kids. Sorry, I don’t have a spare spectator ticket. I hope you both enjoy the run.
