No longer required, I have an entry :D
Re: Wanted - Borrowdale fell e
Might be a bit late, but I got an entry going begging now. PM Me for details.
Re: Wanted - Borrowdale fell e
I'm not sure about all this.
The entry form for Borrowdale requires you to quote previous races of relevent standard.
i.e. they vett entries, the organiser requires you to have suficient experience before letting you run,
This is not to say that you guys don't have the relevent experience but
if you are picking up someone else's entry then its not you that has been vetted, so the organiser hasn't been able to verify your experience.
When you turn up on Saturday they could tell you to go away.
So - it might be worth clearing your substitution with the organiser before then.

Not if you fib ;)
Not that entering Borrowdale without some long, crippling steep fell race experience is at all a smart thing to do :D

And providing you don't die, get seriously injured or cause an emergency call out cos your exhausted costing a fortune, potentially jeopardising fellow runners and damaging the reputation of the sport.

Perhaps they could both disqualify the person who has taken the the number and ban the person giving away the number from the race in question in the future if they have breached the organisers rules?

Given your advice to lie about running experience, does that mean we should treat "Stolly's running adventures" as a work of fiction?

I'm not trying to disagree with your strongly held views, and this is just me being cheekily contrary, but being experienced in fell races has never seemed much help in protecting me from serious injury. The dying bit could equally happen on a long solo run too, so you could argue running in a race is safer. And you can reasonably expect to become exhausted one way or the other ;) ;)
