MARS BAR SCANDAL, SCADDEN IN SHOCKER


Our illustrious chairman Martin Scadden blew the chance to decimate his Marathon PB by stopping for a Mars Bar at around the 37K point of the Istanbul Marathon on Sunday. Suitable comments such as "you git" can be mailed to myself for inclusion in a latter article on this legend of the Dubai Ruuning Scene. Full race report on the BULL will be posted shortly.

COME ON FEEL THE BREEZE


With the cooling breezes of winter being felt what better time to come and join the Milers on our Monday evening runs. We meet at 1900 every Monday at Uptown Primary school Mirdif for somewhere around 10K. There is always someone of your pace in the group. On the last Monday of each month whilst we still meet at the same place we then drive up to Mushrif park for a couple of loops of traffic free running. For the more adventorous we do a longer run most Saturday mornings in the wilds of Al Khaneej where we can guarentee sightings of camels, Goats, Chickens, Sheep and the recently discovered Impala enclosure though the real highlight of this run has to be the visit to the LAFI supermarket, an experience not to be missed!. We also usually offer a shorter 10K run on Saturday mornings. To be included on our mailing list contact Martin on Martin.Scadden@murrob.ae or Dave on djackson@nobledenton-me.com .
