*****COMPETITION CLOSED*********

Hey everybody.

Due to the high amount I need to raise I decided to copy Jr. Chubb's idea of a competition to go with my marathon effort.

SO HERE IT IS, JEDI_MASTERS MARATHON COMPETITION!!!!!!

http://www.justgiving.com/Chris-Mann2

My other thread with all the info on the charity and why I am doing this can be found here:

http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17435

The comp will run like this. In exchange for a sponsor, you will guess my total running time for the marathon. I will keep a track in this first post of who has entered and your guess'. The first 3 nearest will win a prize. I have been kindly given quite a few prize's so I am also considering putting everyone's name's into a had to draw randomly as well as 'booby' prize's so to speak. No real rules for this comp, anyone can enter, no minimum post count.

My only ask is that you sponsor a minimum of £5.

I hope that is ok with anyone who wants to enter. Can you also put your forum name in the message section when you sponsor, this will help me match who is who.

So, now down to the prize's.

Firstly I have to send a MASSIVE thanks to Martin (TC-14) for taking the time and effort to put these together for me. I am absolutely blown away by his talent and generosity at doing these. Thank you.

So, the first 3 people to guess nearest to my total running time will be the proud new owners of one of these painting's each. I am going to send these out randomly to the 3 winner's so you won't know which one you are receiving.



'Booby' Prize's

On top of the main 3 prize's I will also draw 3 more winners from everyone that has entered. I will think up a fun way of drawing the winning name's and post either a video or pic's of the winning name's.

AFA85 Leia Poncho - Donated by Andy X Wing Pilot.



ROTJ MOC Rancor Keeper inc. Star Case - From my collection.



Black Series Figure and Pin Badge - Donated by Jr Chubb.



U85 Lando Calrissian SKiff Guard - Donated by Weasel



6 great prize's up for grabs so please help me get nearer my goal and in the process have a chance of scooping one of the above.

As a little guide, not sure of it will help with you guess'.

I am running a steady 10 minute mile at the moment.

I ran 12 miles bang on 2 hours.

I have said to the organisers I will hope to run it in 5 hours.

I not guaranteeing I will be able to run the whole marathon, may walk a few times.

Good luck guys, please dig deep for me.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
Brilliant idea for a competition! I'm waiting on payday next week but will deffo send some money over, its for a brilliant cause. Awesome prizes donated as well.

The warm fuzzy feeling of generosity on this forum probably tops that of the warm fuzzy feeling Chewbacca gets when he goes down on his wookie wife.
 
Great idea :) what gererous and fantastic prizes, fair play to all that donated 8) really hope this pushes you up to your target :)

I see your daughter is pulling off a Chad :D

I'm plumping for 5hrs 33mins and don't forget to tape your nipples :wink:
 
Nice one Chris.

Guys, the photos show some nice artwork but they really don't do them justice. I caught a cheeky glimpse of the Star Wars one when Martin handed it to Chris in London at the screening of ROTJ. It looks awesome and will definitely add something to your collection areas.

To all those who have donated, bravo!
 
Little bump to keep this at the top.

Jez, Chazb73 (Andy), TC-14 (Martin) and Snaggletooth, I need times from you guys as you have already sponsored me.

Come on guys, I know it's a £5er but the prize's are well worth it. And you get to help me reach my goal as well.

:D :D :D :D :D
 
Well I'm taking this very seriously, I'm waiting for my meteorology specialist to let me know what the weather will be like, I'm also gonna consider the prevailing wind in that area.
I'm then gonna use advanced mathematics to calculate the likely time based on your average speed, calorie intake and crowd numbers.
Nah sod it, put me down for 4 hrs 26 minutes!
 
Donated this morning pal.

Best of luck with it, great cause too, well done pal hope it all goes to plan. You look a little like a cross between Mo Farah and a Paula Radcliffe so you should be fine.

My bet is 5 hours 25 mins

Looking forward to hearing how you get on bud
 
Hello Mate,

Put my donation in this morning. I am going to go with your insider estimate and say 5hrs dead.

As a bit of extra fun and incentive, if you run it in less I will up my donation a bit.

Good luck Chris, and whatever happens on the day you are doing a great thing here.
 
Updated.

9 so far. Where's the rest of you.

This is open to anyone across the globe so don't think you cant take part because you are not in the UK. I will post these prize's anywhere so get sponsoring and post a time.
 
£993!
The next guy to sponsor you could get the feel good factor of pushing you over the £1k threshold!
 
Woop Woop ta very much Richard.

FIrst £1000 raised guys. Huge thanks so far to those that have donated. Now, where's the rest of you!!!!?????
