I've never seen one where they charge more than the £2 though have you??

Although some dont make it obvious there is a discount for affiliated runners till you get to the order form *rolls eyes*

Its like its always cheaper to fill out a form and pay by cheque than paying online - no sorry how can that be right!!!

Yep, £5 in some races ... I think some of the Bupa races have gone down that avenue because relative to the entry fees they charge anyway it doesn't look that much.:rolleyes:

Thats because the online entry providers take a fee which is usually 20% of the fee, although downward pressure has now been put on that by realbuzzbritain who transact for an average 65p per entry.

The race organiser would far prefer a postal entry.;)

Hmmm I see the redcar half marathon date had been put on the web site.

Week before London Marathon... :mad: If only we had the ballot entry results... Still if worse comes to worse and plod around Redcar ... then Hopefully... finguers crossed do the L marathon ... if not then bring on Barcelona, Monaco or Cyprus + can then try for a good time in Redcar .

You can do a half before a mara as long as you take it easy and treat it as a training run

But chances are (sadly) that you wont get into London anyway (1 in 10??), you could always do Blackpool with me - now that would be competitive

Ukevas

Hang on.... Blackpool........or Barcelona :rolleyes:.

Sorry Becky .

and have faith... 1 in 10 is better than 1 in 11... Londoners and there hopeful spirt

becky_rtw

Blackpool was perfect weather this year - sunny, cool and a nice slight breeze

I hope you do get into London - its an experience.

I wont be doing it again - discovered I dont enjoy big races tbh and so I'll leave it to everyone else
