Same here AlsoRan. If I don't get in then I'll be up there taking pictures again and hailing some form of 'encouragement'.
Fingers crossed :-)

Race results up. Finlay six in a row, well done all who took part. http://www.bennevisrace.co.uk/pdf/Be..._Finishers.pdf
Filled in the entry form today and posted it, but since there's no postal collections today it probably wont get there until Tuesday morning at the earliest. Fingers crossed I'm still in with the same chance as everyone else, surely everyone cant deliver them personally tomorrow. Can they?
Did similar Fozzy but drove to the town centre post office to post it.
Next collection in village is 5pm Monday evening so would not get there till Wednesday. (far to late)
Hope everyone who wants to be in is in. All the best.
It's very kind of everyone to post reminders that entries are now open, but the more people you tell (ie on this forum) the less chance you have of getting your own entry accepted. Ssshhh........

Race Entry 2016
The entry for the Ben Nevis Race 2016 is now Closed.
Good luck all...hoping for my 1st!
Please excuse this intervention from a rather ancient and ignorant never-was (as opposed to a has-been), but can anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of taking entries 7 months in advance for a race which it is known is going to be over-subscribed? 7 months ahead, no-one can predict whether they are going to be fully fit, or possibly unable to run at all due to injury. And how does it help the organiser to know the identity of all participants 7 months in advance, rather than, say, 1 month in advance? Am I missing something?
PS This is not sour grapes: I did run the Ben Nevis Race once, in 1986 (when one could enter a few weeks in advance, and the word "over-subscribed" hadn't been invented), and decided that it had been an experience worth going through, but only once.
Having the entry fees in the bank for 7mths helps with the financing of the event would be my guess
The older I get the Faster I was
