Just entered the Nationals. Never done them before and as they are relatively close this year thought I'd give it a go.
Looking at the start list it appears that Trav's Coventry Godiva have the biggest entry.
1500 Men on a start line 150m wide, funnelled down to 10 metres wide after 250m is typically what you are faced with - so get a good start if you want to be competitive or you'll be running for up to a minute then shuffling for another minute
