I was thinking the same, but worried i might get my car towed away...

Do you get a T shirt for finishing the race (i.e. no need to buy one)?

You hjave to pre order them, £5 each.

I am just wondering a bit here. Last year was my debut.

There was a lot of debate, some on the forum about the perceived extortionate price of last years race which I think was £20, as oppossed to the usual £8.

Last year we got a free T Shirt and quite a few other little goodies in our bag. The bought merchandise were quite substantial items - I bought the long sleeved base layer.

At £16 for this year, and increased entries, I would hope that we get a similar "goodie bag" to last year.

WP i guess you have to take into consideration all the behind the scenes, i am doing the Race for Life in June, and it was £12.99 but then it shown me the merchanise, and i bought some kind of keyring, so it adds up, but i read the goody bags in the Race for Life are all donated, not sure if the goody bags you get are donated or they have to go and buy them.

Maybe someone can do you a breakdown of costs etc...just a thought.

I'm going up too. Possibly taking Manhar (subject to confirmation later this week). Maybe sort car share out? (PM me if interested - gets a bit crowded at Ribblehead). What I've done in the past is park at Horton and jog up the trail to the gate where they turn right to go up PYG. That way catch them going both up and down. Then run back to the car and catch the mid-packers at Ribblehead.

Being the first time I ran the 3p's last year, i wore road shoes and found it quite muddy!
Anybody know what the course is like for this year? its been quite dry, could I get away with road shoes this year?

Why not take a choice and see on the day?

I will, just wondering? Prob won't get a chance to look at the middle part of the course, where it was quite muddy and slippy last year...

I'll be up on the crosser taking some pics unless there is divine intervention on my achilles and then I will be hot footing it round the course.


I'll charge mi camera.
