[QUOTE=IainR;471191]Unfortunately its getting pricey.. over here in the states £80-130 isn't uncommon and there's very few races under $30...
Its a joke.. I don't mind £30 for a marathon or the odd major race but this price is just incredible.. Compare that with races like the Trunce
The only way to stop it is not support them and support the value for money races. I've done a few I thought were too expensive so won't do again. For example £5 to run 4 laps of the cricket pitches at that deeside grand prix.. an absolute classic of a race...
I don't see how a race is someone's turf though... The more race organisers the more sustainable a sport will be.[/QUOTE]
Dear All,
It was purely a jovial dig, an acknowledgement that Martin, as much if not more so than anyone else, appears to have raised the profile of hill / offroad running in the Clwydians ( directly outside his own back door) with many excellent routes at knock-down prices .... something that might be heeded by these new venturers!
