I got a direct message from the suffering race to say I'd won the Tshirt competition but within 10 mins (and before I had time to reply) their account was suspended! :eek:

    It was on twitter! I went on to the suffering race website and their twitter link took me to a different account so maybe this competition had nothing to do with the official suffering race! I've emailed them so hopefully they'll let me know either way!

    I did a bit of searching and found the website.

    The link to their Facebook page doesn't seem to work

    But a search on Facebook brings up this page with the T-shirt Twitter comp and the winner announcement:

    https://www.facebook.com/thesufferingrace?fref=ts

    https://www.facebook.com/thesufferingrace/posts/507196722726719

    Another option might be to message them on Facebook.
    Well, you know, my ancestry isn't all hamster.
    I'm one-sixteenth wolf with, you know, a little wolverine in there somewhere.

  • Their FB post says '
    Ultimate Adventures And The Suffering Obstacle Race Series congratulations to @taverner86 who won our first ever t-shirt giveaway #thesufferinrace
    2 hours ago '


    and looking at your username here I'd say you're definitely the winner. As hamster says, try contacting them on Facebook. Hope you get your prize, it's a nice T-shirt.
