Jeremy Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 What sort of race? Running? A "drag" race? A snail race? Egg and spoon? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2788-ed-road-race-lounged/#findComment-85485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spadetownboy Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 does it start from the plough end or the clockhouse end. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2788-ed-road-race-lounged/#findComment-85487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 ~Considering the buses, cars and pedestrian crossings the quickest way down Barry road is on foot.

surfbobby Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 They way I heard it was it started at the Plough pub and ends in the Clockhouse. I believe there is drinking involved as well as running Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2788-ed-road-race-lounged/#findComment-85503 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the last few years, on one evening in the Summer, a load of young people descend on Ulverscroft Road and run down it very fast.Many times.Whilst making a lot of noise.When I politely ask them to go and make the noise somewhere else, they do (eventually!):) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2788-ed-road-race-lounged/#findComment-85530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 A pram race? I remember years ago there used to be pram races between pubs to raise money for charity.

Sammo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Its called the "Barry Barry Run".... Involves all the competitors meeting in the Plough at a designated time.... on the strting gun, you have to down a pint of larger and then run down to the clockhouse fast as you can - First one there wins....I believe they also stopped at the "barry off license? to down a can on the way past last year.......

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Perhaps we should do a test run Brendan, to see if it's actually doable. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2788-ed-road-race-lounged/#findComment-85580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hmmmm.. It gives me an idea PGC. An EDF pub crawl. Perhaps in the summer some time? Taking in all the establishments our environs have to offer. Or as many as we can make I suppose. This Barry Road run sounds like a laugh though.

evelknievel Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Pint at both ends I think, so for the slow of hoof a chance to make amends in the speed of gulp dept.

Brendan Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Do they close the road for it or do you have to contend with the traffic? Can you do a sneaky hop onto a No12?
