    Female BG completers

    I am training for an attempt at the end of May and was wondering how many women have completed the round, anyone know?

    I think I saw reference to 120 recently. It might have been on Morgan's piece for the iRunfar blog

    EDIT: it was 110 mentioned here

    Heather Dawe was the 100th a couple of years ago so Andy's guess of 120 would seem about right though there did seem to be a significant number of women receiving certificates at the dinner last year.

    I think there has been a summary posted on here by Morgan, can't be sure though.

    I thought it was about 80.... but seems like a few more have done it in the last couple of years - i heard that women had a higher success rate but maybe that was just reckoning?

    you set a date? need any pacers? - always on for pacing / navigating legs if you need any more folks

    By my calculations, it's not easy telling if "Chris" is a male or female, the current number of successful women is 127 or about 7% of the total.

    Fantastic, thanks for the info. Amazing that it's so few for such a large number of good female fell runners out there....
    Hopefully, my name can be added to the list on the 25th May! :w00t:

    Strictly a guess DT.

    Wanted to get the piece off to Bryon and wasn't having trouble sleeping!

    Bob's got more stamina then me!

    There used to be a woman in Grassington called Peter.

    Legend also has it that there was a Roberta called 'Bob', until she could stand the Fla(c)k.
    PS. and sometimes 'Bob' turns out in fact to be 'Kate' (a-la-Blackadder..) :closed:
