Print an order form and post it, looks easier than all that online ordering tomfoolery;)Quote:

I have followed the instructions to order online and it doesn't seem possible - the links to do this do not appear to exist.
I've not been able to do this either today. Will you be able to buy them on the day?
Now I'm no detective, but I'm assuming Brummy John that you are from the West Mids area? I'm moving to Birmingham later this year so a few pointers on good places to go fell running would be appreciated...I'm used to Peak District and the canals in Brum don't look too exciting...
i have emailed sportident to inform them there is a problemQuote:

Have a good race.

yes it is working and I have ordered all the t shirtsQuote:

reading the above which i've lifted from the website...
hmmm...
does that mean memorise your race number to assist in the collection of it.... or is it being sent in the post and the second bit is an oversight ?
as I've been sent nowt, as yet ? anyone received theirs or expecting to ?:confused:
There's an entry list on the web-site. Simply remember your details and collect your number at registration on the day :) Organisers sent an email out explaining this on Thursday this week iircQuote:

If not what is your race number?
I have tried to order a hat online. After entering my credit card details the final page was: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" . So I don't know whether my order worked. Anyone else got it to work?
Follow the link to the entry list on the Three Peaks web site here and your race number is the number in the race no column.Quote:

Martin, the 2009 3Ps doesn't appear as an entry for me to edit. I'm on the official list of entrants, but the event isn't listed in my 'View/edit' profile.Quote:

I stupidly missed the date. ID needed on the day to prove u r who u say u r. What next? DNA?:DQuote:

No problems providing DNA at a fell race. They can choose between blood and sweat. :DQuote:

Nor, apparently, skin. Take a saw. :D
Coming back to Two Toenails' original point, does anyone know why ID is required for this race? I could understand it last year when it was an international event (with external scrutineers etc) but it seems an unusual precaution in a domestic fell race. Do any other events ask for runners to produce ID, and is there a real problem of imposters turning up and blagging the chance to slog 24 miles? BTW, I'm NOT knocking the race organisers, who do a great job. Just interested.
planning to watch, maybe park up at ribblehead and up to whernside and back to hill inn. this will be flagged won't it and ok to walk on the day as spectators as 'shorter' route up to whernside? that is special access on race day only.
I was thinking the same, but worried i might get my car towed away...Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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?Quote:

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.
