tbh I've given up on doing it again. Done it twice and enjoyed it. missed out a couple of years on the bounce and now can't be bothered chasing it. The costs also gone up a fair bit, and it clashes with Bullock Smithy which I've started to do regularly. Pity...maybe one day I'll go back and race it. Good luck anyone thats in...great race!

Was definatley up for it this year just never got the entry form sent off on time, so cant complain, my own fault. Anyhow, its the English champs Guisborough 3 Tops the same weekend, so hopefully have a bash at that, still gutted about the Ben though.

Ten years since i did the Ben Race, i used to send my entry in at the end of Feb in those days and get in with no problem.

I remember one year it was the same weekend as a championship race at Shelf Moor and some drove back straight after the Ben to double up.

The race to get your entry in is getting harder than the race itself these days - mind you it has filled up this fast for the last few years now. I'm not sure what the answer is - online entry would be even worse in my opinion.
I know the organisers plan for a level of drop outs, but in terms of finishers there has yet to be over 500 actually completing - and on average the number of finishers over the last 20 yrs has increased by 130 or so.
My entry went off in time, but now we all have the wait to see if we are in. I wont be too disappointed if I miss out this year, but I'll go up anyway to support a fantastic event
