I've sent off my entry. Sounds like the kind of race everybody should try at least once in his/her life, and this year (out of a dwindling stock) seemed as good as any!

Just to clarify, I haven't been diagnosed with a terminal illness or anything. I was just taking the long view of life and applying logic....:)

Personally I don't mind paying more for the bigger races. I think it puts people off entering and then deciding not too run. When races are less than a £5 I think people just enter and wait and see.

Justified the cost to me Ian! Don't know whether or not I think it will be worth it at the end though!!!! Ask me at the finish.....ooo eerrrrrr!!!

anyone know when this race is likely to be full up? would like to enter, but a bit far in advance for me, not sure of plans for this summer

Sent my entry off, can we have a useable technical t shirt for that price? the last two are still in my drawer.
Really enjoyable day out, well worth the drive up.

I'm thinking that the price tag is fair value even though it's still quite a lot. I guess it's to be expected for such a big event and associated co-ordination.

I registered on the site and put my entry in the post,

Done this route before but never the race, so looking forward to it,

It's a fine race and attracts lots of top Italian athletes, who are seriously good at downhill. I did it in 1981 and then in 2002. The big change over those years is the engineering of the path, which resembles something of a motorway in places. There's alot of vertically placed slabs to drain water off and it's easy to take a stumble on the way down when you're tired and your eyes are watering.

sent off entry form . apart from cheque being cashed , how are you notified to say whether your in or not ?
