    Reversal of Fortune

    It is perhaps noteworthy that the 459 finishers in the 2007 PPP is the highest ever.

    In the early 1990s typically 400+ finished, eg

    94 431
    95 416
    96 415
    97 427

    However with the exception of 2000 when the race was an English Champ counter (409) by the late 1990s the race appeared to be in serious decline:

    98 372
    99 333
    (01 F&M)
    02 207
    03 205

    2004 saw the hooplah of the 50th Anniversary Race, Championship status etc and 407 finished.

    Conventional wisdom then on the organising committee was that after 2004 numbers would continue to decline, but instead the race has regained and now surpassed its previous popularity:

    2005 340
    2006 363
    2007 459

    And rightly so?
