    Which one have you signed up for?

    I completed mine as part of a team, but we made a friend on the way round who was running solo and we 'adopted' him (gave him a matching tutu and everything). I know that you'll have people to help you over obstacles even as a solo, everyone helps people that need it. And you might find a team willing to absorb more members too, just make sure you're chatting to people as you go!

    I am all alone, but might be able to hook up with some on here that might be doing the same day. I am signed up for Saturday 21st September in the South West UK.

    Have you tried the TM forums? You might find people there also running solo who are wanting a team.

    And yes, everyone I asked thought I was a nutter too! I went because a friend of mine in a different country asked me to join her team.

    Haha it's an incredible experience, you'll have an amazing time! I want to do another.My fiance's family is trying to get a group together for one in November in the US, I'm very excited about it.
    Note, it'll help a lot of you can run normally 7+ miles without too much difficulty.

    I am doing South East in may! Would be great to hear your training programme! my sis and bro in law have done one, and again they have said unlike a lot of 'competitions' it really is a challenge and you help others along the way!

    I'm just about to sign up for the one in Scotland in August! As part of a team I don't know very well at all. I'm a road runner and I lift so hopefully if I really up my game for the next 6 months I'll be onto a winner.
