Win an iPod Touch
Starting an annual tradition we'd like to find out about you as a walker, jogger, runner or cyclist to help guide the direction of the website and the iPhone/mobile development so we've put together some questions. Please take a few moments to complete the survey. One lucky participant will win an iPod Touch and a free copy of our iPhone app WalkJogRun Routes!
Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night (UK)
 Adam here is quite excited for Bonfire Night. He’s not going anywhere for it; he’s just excited! This annual celebration occurs on November 5, marking the downfall of the plot, which Guy Fawkes was a part of, to blow up the House of Parliament in London.
A couple races celebrating the holiday: Nidd Valley Road Runners Guy Fawkes 10 and the Tewkesbury AC Guy Fawkes 5.
Gear Up for Winter
As the cold weather begins to hit most of us, it can be a little tricky trying to figure out what will keep you warm but cool during your runs.
 Tips to remember:
- Base layer should be snug fitting, thin,
and moisture-wicking
- Use a mid layer for temperatures
below 30° F
- Outer layer protects you from elements. Should be waterproof and wind-resistant
This video from RunnersWorld.com illustrates example clothing items for your winter runs.
