Am I the only one who is now playing the air guitar and humming the riff? "It's the final countdown, Da da da da, da da da da da...." I hope we're all getting nice and ready for Saturday's run.  We've had some amazing donations already to the Justgivin...

The 2018 Oggie Run is coming...

30 Aug 2018, 7:17 p.m.

So, it’s that time of year again.  It’s the Great Oggie Run. Why the Great Oggie Run? For those of you who may not know him, Oggie is a legend in his own daps.  Having not run a marathon before he was in his 50s, he’s now run hundreds of the things.  ...

Green is for go!!

OK, here we go.  Green is the colour.  Green is for go!! You may have seen the fab video that HD posted last night – the suspense he managed to build up as we waited for the grand announcement of this year’s chosen charity was something else.  I loved t...

I know, I know...

That's two "I knows." The first one is to say "I know that the title of the blog still says 2016 and it is now 2017."   But there are only so many "internal server errors" that a man can be told about before he fears he may have logged on to BA by mist...

A good friend....

How are we feeling, folks?  I hope we're feeling like we're ready to do all that we can to support the cause.  No cause is ever anything than special to us, of course; every time we have run on one of these days, we have run for a cause that is close to...

The countdown continues.

Morning all. So, the message remains the same as it always will. On 10 September, we run.  We run as Realbuzzers.  Wherever we are, however far we can, we run.  Whilst the miles may separate us, our cause and our ties unite us. I know that most of you k...

We're up and we'll soon be ru...

Morning all. I know that most of you know the story, but it never hurts to retell a best seller.  In 2013, one of our number, Oggie, had an idea.  Like many great ideas, it was brilliant in its simplicity. Every year, we choose a date.  This year it is ...

Here we go again!

15 May 2016, 7:02 p.m.

Oh, it's that tremendous time of year - it's the time of year when the days are getting longer, the runs are rewarding us for the hard yards across the winter months, and the views are a joy to behold.  But, above all that, it's time to announce the Gre...

Well, the country was certain...

Carlsberg don't do running weekends (we've got Marc to do that for us after all).  But if they did, they'd probably look a lot like this one. Red was the colour, running was the game. Wow, just wow.  Is it just me, or does the response to the call get b...

It's nearly time to roll!!

27 Aug 2015, 6:59 p.m.

2 days to go.  It's getting real! We're all excited I am sure - red is the colour, and we're going to make it a red letter day for sure. It's going to mean a lot to Gaelle I know that we're all out there together on Saturday, and we know that if it matt...

Counting down in earnest.

25 Aug 2015, 6:20 a.m.

Well, the weather may not be traditional for this time of year, but one thing is for sure.  Come rain, hail, sun, wind (and maybe all of them at the same time!), Buzzers the length and breadth of the country will be painting the trails RED come Saturday...

R-Day minus 11

18 Aug 2015, 11:09 a.m.

Well, we've all rightly heard of D-Day. This year, we buzzers will also be honouring Red Day.  Remember, we're all running in red on Saturday 29 August to raise money for the Cardiomyopathy Association.  This is to help Gaelle in her monumental year off...

Save the date.
