Can't see it been full on first day like last years championship event, which is good news for anyone who never got in last year.

Same time, done in sandals and a toga though (obviously has to be weatherproof and with taped seams!).

How would you collect your race number from the stupid expo at FLM?

You will have to remain flabbergasted I'm afraid :D

Although being in the twilight zone is another matter entirely :D

Re: 3 Peaks 2009

good

So the question is if you are a member of the FRA, is this an affilliated club and if not do you have to pay the full price to enter races and for once this is not a wind up but a geniune question.

Well i entered as FRA, and they charged me £20 so don't think FRA counts as affiliated:(

For many years it was FRA policy that unattached runners should NOT be charged a levy. I'm not sure whether that is still the case and I can't find any mention of it in the 2009 calendar.

Re: Three Peaks 2009

I'll be there as the slowest of the Milton Keynes runners, but hopefully a good deal quicker than last year.

Tyke.

I collected it on the Wednesday last year and I'll probably do the same again this time. One of the few advantages of living down south.

This is taken from a thread in January 2007:

Does anyone know whether this situation has changed?

Re: Three Peaks 2009

I know that the mechanism for Road Races has changed.

With the old system the organiser collected the £2 levy and sent it to the Rehional body such as the North of England AA.

Now, each race pays a set fee - based on the permitted number of athletes but still has to charge a levy for unattached, but the ammount of levy isn't fixed - I don't think so anyway.

I remember you from last year at the start line. Didn't you go on to do the "forts" race the weekend after??? :confused:

Best o' luck, I'm passing on the PPP this time. :rolleyes:

I did this last year - with a fortnight between the pair of them and can confirm that if you do....it will hurt :eek:

Needless to say i will not be repeating this frankly idiotic trick this year!

I should add i was by know means the only culpritt Chris Birchall finished well in both (2.22ish for FLM & top end at the PPP)

Re: 3 Peaks 2009

Me too, but finished much much further down the respective fields!

Really enjoyed both events - strangely :D

That was me. I ended up walking in from Ingleborough as my left knee decided it didn't want to run. The following weekend I made it to 19 miles in the 3 Forts, but the knee was really hurting again so I called it a day.

I'm hoping that the 3 Peaks goes a lot better this year; as for the 3 Forts I am thinking about it.

Re: Three Peaks 2009

Has anyone succesfully registered today?

A clubmate tried last night and although it said only 560 entries he said there was a later screen showing over 900 entries and full?

Its currently showing 619 entries.
