The reason I was asking is because I had to pull out at Ribblehead in 2011 due to stomach bug and couldn't enter last year due to injury. So I come under the category as stated 'Runners who do not fulfill either of these requirements but who have endurance running experience should submit details on their entry'.
I guess you're right Stolly, they need to cover themselves but I thought the point of listing qualifications was so that they could check. Quote from 3 Peaks Race page 'The many hundreds of hours we spend verifying entries is critical to the safe running of the race'.
