  • Any downsides to giving away a place at the big half? They aren't offering deferment as an option and I deffo can't do it (uni and injury). So apart from having someone run a time against my name that I'd never match (i am slow as fuck) and maybe looking better in the photos than me is there any downside?

    Also anyone want a place for Sunday?

  • No should be fine, people do it all the time. As long as the person isn't enlisted as an intentional mule (using that race time to then qualify you for another race).

  • Yeah, do try to avoid being replaced by a fast person/relatively fast person for their age/gender. Bear in mind, the race is organised by the London Marathon, so in theory they could ban someone from future events if they thought they're guilty of deliberate subterfuge.

    Just about to layer up and don the trail shoes for an easy (hopefully) 5 miles on grass. Looks quite nice out, just hope my nose doesn't freeze off.

  • Ensure the emergency contact data is updated. Unlikely owt will go wrong but if it does don't want your next of kin getting call for another person.

  • Having both given out and received numbers before I can safely say there's no issue.
    Would be happy to take the number from you as it will encourage me to stick on my training plan despite the weather. I can also offer to wear a turkey hat if you fancy a chuckle when the photos come in.
