I Medio Maratón El Pilar de la Horadada

[Antonio247]

I agree with you, Andy. I think that the system to leave the baggage should be changed. We decided that the best way was just have a sticker with the race number in the bag given on Saturday and those people interested should just stick it to the bag with the things you want to leave at the baggage stand before the race.

A few weeks before the race I suggested the man in charge of the half to give a little trophy or medal, which can be kept at home. I even showed him some trophies I had been given in other races. However, he told me that they preferred more practical things such as a rucksack or a raincoat. I told him that those things are not so appreciated since they soon get broken or are not used while the trophy remains and can be seen at home and reminds you of that race. I even suggested a trophy with a figure of the Mediterranean stadium, Alcazaba or Indalo.

Thanks for your suggestions, Andy. I´ll write all the ideas down to give to the organisers and I´ll ask if they already know the date for 2008.

I´d also suggest to send a letter or an e-mail with information on the half marathon to participants from the previous years to invite them to take part at the race such as the Reading half, Granada half, Benidorm half send me every year.

Antonio
