Wow, they must have taken a shot of every runner, thats dedication eh. Brilliant pix.

Just received an email from one of the Ben organisers saying that a decent quality red jacket had been found after the race.

If you lost one, pm me, and I'll forward your details.

On conditions of entry it states that Competitors must be members of a bona fide Athletic Club - does the FRA count?

Or will I actually need to join a Club - all of the clubs close to me are geared towards road runners and I really don't want to join!!

Also, do the 3 Category A races have to be within the last year?

[Bigfish]

Yes you can. I entered originally under the FRA last year, but got it amended nearer the race date when I joined a club.

[RichK]

Yeah there are loads of FRA runners in this. I'm fairly sure they just want proof of fell running experience, so I'm sure that if some of the A races are more than a year old you'll be ok.

Thanks for the advice, only 1 hurdle left, which may be the hardest, - persuading my wife that this is a good idea!!

This is brilliant eh. Left him some good feedback.

I notice that the ben nevis race states that competitors must be members of a bona fide Athletic Club.
I also notice that the entry list states some entrants club as fra.

Is this the fell runners association and if so presumably this counts as a bona fide athletic club?

Cheers.
