really looking forward to this now
be good to put a couple of names to faces at t'bash after - although I'd feel a bit of a prat wandering round going 'are you tussockface?' or whatnot

You're so more 'honister' than me ML
No it was 100% true. I explained that I knew the route and had ran it before. They didn't actually ask me how 'well' I'd done it so I didn't have to tell them.
Anyway I'm bored with this. Maybe see you there Saturday Anti... well until you leave me for dust at the start that is.
Does experience of several OMMs and LAMMs count towards the entry criteria ?
Otherwise I only have one fell race over 12 miles under my belt, a good few under 7 miles and regularly train over 10 mile runs.
....If so, anyone still got a ticket for this race going spare please ?
Cheers, Jim

Think you will struggle to be honest. This is stated for substitutions on the entry form:
(a) the substitute runner is able to demonstrate previous experience of long, arduous fell races and,
if he or she has not previously completed the Borrowdale Fell Race, he or she must have completed
at least two different category A or B long or two different category A medium fell races (race
categories as defined by the Fellrunners’ Association) since 1st January 2007
(b) the substitute runner must complete a Substitution Form at Race Registration on 1st August
^^^
Am I missing something then? on FRs alone, reckon I qualify (never was good at rules though!):
Also my friend only has MM experience, all more than 12miles a day + lots of climbing. would that qualify?
Category “A”
a) Should average not less than 250' (76m) climb/mile (1.6k).
b) Should not have more than 20% of the race distance on road.
c) Should be at least one mile (1.6k) in length.
Category “B”
a) Should average not less than 125' (38m) climb/mile (1.6k).
b) Should not have more than 30% of the race distance on road.
DEFINITION THREE : RACE LENGTH CATEGORIES
a) A category “L” (long) race is twelve miles (19.3k) or over.
b) A category “M” (medium) race is six miles (9.6k) and over but under twelve (19.3k).
c) A category “S” (short) race is under six miles (9.6k).
advice appreciated![]()
I have two numbers going for any last minute substitutions... anyone interested??
Email me asap!
Sorry it's so late, but apparently you can fill out substitution forms on the day
