@MargC: thanks, I didn't realise the UKA rules would be the same as FRA, but yes I knew about the International race category. Maybe we should all organise International races..

@WP: As long as all of the personalised numbers are associated with a regular number it should still be OK (?)

So Welsh fell races could do well out of this (one-size-fits-all and possibly disproportionate response to the circumstances that have arisen due to a culture of not shortening or cancelling races in bad weather)?
I'm somewhat puzzled by the position of BOFRA at the moment.....
Maybe this helps, maybe not! http://bofra.co.uk/FAQ.php
  • BOFRA committee members officiate at all championship races and assist at others.
  • Everyone must register on the day, to ensure that every runner is safe and accounted for.
  • Every competitor must wear shoes and equipment which are appropriate for the race in which they are competing.
  • In some cases it will be necessary for runners to carry full body cover depending upon the weather conditions. All competitors must follow the race orgainsers direction.
