“Good Luck everyone. Too dark & cold in NZ at 9pm so I was out there 9am NZ time. It was about -1degC so if I hadn't signed up for this I would have never left my fire lol. Great incentive and a really good run”

Lucille W In HK so ran ahead of you. Paid attention to my pace, although have been running slower in July. It was a beautiful day, sunny with big fluffy clouds. Wonderful Sunday for a run!

Irene M answered the question Start time

I think that would be 4 AM for me in Boston, MA, USA. I'm going to run 5 miles in the morning (prob before 8 because of the heat) and post my time when I get back. I think its even earlier for you Pete.

Irfan Q answered the question Start time

Yes, the ideal situation will be to start together at 9am depending on time zone. So it should be your zone time. But its not compulsion, if anyone can't then can go a bit later but try not to go early...
