AMSTERDAM MARATHON

"A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair" *
 

Well, hopefully not too many mice with clogs, going "clip-clippety-clop" but lots of Dunbar Runners with trainers on going "plod-ploddity-plod".

 

Yes folks, next year we want to see as many Dunbar Runners as possible at the ING Amsterdam Marathon.

 

The race itself is on 19th October 2008 and registration opens on 9th January 2008. So there is more than enough time for anyone to train, and there is lots of notice as well, so any excuse for non-attendance better be a good one.
