What is the deal with collecting numbers for this race? Do I need to prove my identity to ensure people do not claim numbers for someone else? Do I need to take anything else with me to registration? Do I just collect my race number on the start area?

Doing this one again, although will struggle after little training these last few months, but it'll still be as good as ever. Going to be a bit of a rush to get there in time, coming from London first thing in the morning though.
Roady, standard procedure - rock up at the electric mountain visitors centre, tell them your name, pick up your chip and number (+ t-shirt?). Simple as that!
Also don't forget to put the chip on your PUMA shoes this year, I won't be there to remind you.Originally Posted by Scurry
My legs are still sore after coniston should be fun if its not gone by saturday
anyone know anymore about running on the train track? the top bits closed so is this ok?
Just had this email back from the Race Entries secretary which clarifies things.......
Hi Jim
Can you put this on the Forum? For some reason I cannot get on to it
Yes the route down has changed slightly this year due to the fact that no trains will be running to the summit.
It is reverting to the original course of many years ago.
You will be directed onto the railway track and stay on it for a bout 400mtrs before returning onto the main path at Bwlch Glas
It will be marshalled and partly taped. It will cut out the congestion on the narrow path from Bwlch Glas to the summit.
This route change only applies because trains are not going to the summit
Regards
Geoff

What shoes are people wearing?
I've worn fell shoes in the past for this one but am thinking of using an old pair of road shoes this time.
I'm not doing the race, I don't think anyway, my wife was but she's had to drop out at the last minute so I may run with her entry.
If I do I'll probably wear road shoes, its such a good trail and very hard on your feet. In fact most of the paths on Snowdon are fine in road shoes.
Saying that if it's very wet, which is quite likely, I'd be tempted back towards fell shoes.
yep, thats what I'am thinking. Road shoes fine but not if its going to be wet.
I am planning on running in road shoes if not pouring down with rain. Did it in road shoes last year and found it ok but that was on a dry sunny day.
