cheers emily's dad.
Great news.
Can't wait to get on it.
Have you done it before. You will love it. Kareoke's at 3pm in the afternoon. 1 Euro a beer. horse race days in the pubs, and all for the price of a sleasy jet flight
Fourth time this year, you know what you are getting. The organisation and atmosphere of the race is excellent, hopefully not as wet as last year.
Then two days recovery in the bars before flying home, good weekend away and all sorted via that Internet thingy.
PF5 - any luck with entering ?
Hope you all get registered succesfully and maybe see you out there.
Has anyone else entered yet ? I have entered but I am having trouble getting my registration certificate. Does anyone know how to get this.
Thanks in advance
Entering looks like a bit complicated, anyone to guide me through the entry process ?
Do you sent the money first or after you have entered your details on the website site ?
Then the next day go back on website search your name and print registration certificate.
Hope this helps
good luck
Sounds easy, thanks for that.
How long are you staying in Benidorm for ?
Four of us are out Friday AM back Monday Evening, just enough for a few beers !!!
MG - Can you assist, my money has cleared but I cannot get the registration certificate.
When I search my name on the inscription part of the site it comes up and has OK next to it but when I click on the get certificate it comes up with "no inscription" , how did you get you certificate ?
Hope this helps, good luck
Mark
Mark - big thanks for this. Cant wait, 5 of us booked on so far.
are one up for fancy dress
The Princessa is close to the start, one side of the hotel overlooks the start, it is a two minute walk to the start, five minutes back, hobbling of course after 13 miles.
Try Travel Republic for accomodation.
Hotel Ambassor Playa is a good fifteen minutes walk from the start although it is closer to the the pubs, etc. It is a good distance to jog and warm up though.
Any info would be great
thanks in advance
Last year was the first year that it was on a Saturday evening and it pi**ed it down, I dont think in ten years of running in the UK that I have run in such wet conditions.
In past years the race used to be on a Sunday morning and the support was excellent, by both the Spainish, British holiday makers and ex pats. The route is basically a figure of eight twice, only real hills are when you run through the old town. Hopefully this year will be dry and everyone will get behind the runners. The route takes in both beaches of Benidorm and therefore past a number of pubs / resturants.
Even last year it was not lonely, just bloody wet. I think I was drier when I came out of the shower after the race last year.
Beware of the Spanish runners at the end of the race, they will simply push in when you are waiting for your goodies, massage, etc.
Did anyone notice on the website something about different routes for different age categories and genders or was that just me??
Keep an eye out for the Penny Lane Striders stag weekend!
