I ran the Three Peaks last year and did wonder how some of em managed to get an entry to be honest.
This year marshaling in a local race I managed to persuade a big strong lad to retire after only 4 miles in foul weather because he was in obvious distress. On the way back down he admitted all his training was on a running machine and he just fancied a go at a fell race.
Exactly DNF and that's why we need a robust set of rules to save these people from themselves.
