I've entered details 6 times, and it crashes every time...
Same as you PF - I've also had many times where I can't even get to the site. I had this last year, and now I'm thinking that I can't be bothered, best get on with my work.......
I don't think it's the browser forgetting the details, it seems to be set to default back to "donate" everytime it crashes. At least this is how it's been for me as all the other details remain in place. Seems to be a cheeky tweak they've put in.
Just managed to get in on third time - I just left each page hanging to refresh itself and it did it. Took about an hour though.
The £45 tag caused an sharp intake of breath, and comes with the T shirt though. About a tenner more than a normal half and T shirt combo, but the crashed site I guess shows that the price does not put people off (like me) ...They know it will be a sell out.
A disgrace, spent more than 2 hours trying to get a place. Entered my details 5 times but never got through to the next page to make payment page. Sold out by midday. I reckon there were just a few hundred places and the rest were all sold to charities. What a joke.
has anyone who has got a place got a conf email yet?? have managed to get sth confirming I've paid from the payment thing but nowt from the actual HM...
Same, nothing through yet but there is a backlog they are saying.
Info from Facebook: 'there is a backlog of confirmation emails which still need to go out. Thank you for being patient. Let us know if you still don't receive it by emailing info@royalparkshalf.com and we will investigate.'

From The Royal Parks Foundation:
Due to the popularity of the race, the website is in high demand and is experiencing a little difficulty as a result.
A number of provision have been put in for high demand and the site is standing up to the challenge, it has just slowed down to cope.
We can confirm places are being filled, so please do keep clicking refresh.
Thanks for your patience.
But at £45 is it really worth it - ran it the first year and it was OK, but not sure it's worth that much!
I've now filled the sodding thing in 7 times. And now it insists I didn't enter a donation amount and have to Go Back To Previous Page!
Last year took 13 hours to get a place...then I crashed my bike and couldn't run. Gah.
Using Google Chrome as a browser remembers your details so saves having to type all in again if that's any help to anyone?

I decided to give it one last go and I made it in!
I'm off to the Majorca Marathon the following weekend so hopefully it'll be a good final warm-up.

Bloody hell. I thought there was an asbsence of people on here moaning about the price, clearly all too occupied with the refreshed botton.
