Sorry Malky, I was assuming that most races used SHR insurance, no problem with being corrected!

Do you need to send a SAE? Doesn't say so, so am I okay without?
Entry form is out.

A tad too expensive for me this year:o
Looking on site though you have to complete 3 a races it does not say in what timescale. (Or if it does it does I can't see it)
Didn't do it last year through injury, but did in previous 2 years, only did 2 A last year races again through injury. Do people know the timecale in which you have had to have completed the 3 races?
10 quid last year 17 quid this year - 70% price increase!?
Wish I could get away with that with my customers.
Although I will enter again this year, I'd be interested to hear from the organisers as to why there's been such a big price hike.
If there have been genuine cost increases (to justify the extra £4200) then fine but if it's just a case of cashing in on the increasing popularity of fell running I think it's a bit naughty.
Its a bit unfair what if you are u/23 and its your first Ben Race
Come on folks :rolleyes: So it's an extra £7 quid!
But compared to how much most of us spend on getting to Fort William, stopping over, have a beverage after the race etc...it's hardly significant is it. Best £17 quid I'll spend on racing this year :cool:
(yep, fair point Tom, it's maybe a lot for youngsters, but again, it's only 2 and a bit beers now mate ;))
Besides, perhaps it'll encourage the high proportion on "no-shows" to be "shows" :)
Just be glad we ain't road runners!
Also, haven't done it for a while but 3-peaks isn't cheap is it...??? Mind, we 're not comparing like for like eh...
