Yes Lee race numbers are picked up on the day at race hq and on sunday will email to everyone the info sheet hope this helps Alan T. sorry but these are a few faces that I have pulled already and its not even race day. And just wondered if the EGYPTIAN TOE will enter as down to last 20 numbers.

Excellent! Cheers Alan

Don`t think I`ll be entering Alan. I`m sure it`ll be a great race but we`ve been over to Preston a fair bit over the past month so I`ll have to give it a miss. When`s that 10 miler you do?

alan taylor 6

July 21st and it will be better for kids as it has a play park and football field and tennis courts at the venue plus Elswick has a good icecream parlour so a better run for the hole family group.

Alan, that sounds perfect for us, is there an email service we can sign up for to get reminders?

Hubby just entered Inskip HM too

Hi lisa one I get the half marathon over with I will let runners world / running diary / active network / and northern runner know to give that service. I think that the ten miler this year will fill as we had 160 last year and we had a lot of good comments back of runners and I will try and make it more of an event rather than just a run.

The Egyptian Toe

That sounds cracking, Alan. 10 miles is my favourite race distance and, weather permitting, I`ll be there to smash my PB.

Cheers Alan, My Club, Lancaster & Morecambe do a 10 mile race but there aren't enough 10 milers for my liking, it's a nice distance.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your races in future.

What's the course like Alan?

Looking to use it for NYCM qualifying so hoping it's a flat one! (Bear in mind I'm from East Anglia so anything bigger than a mole hill is like a mountain for me!)

alan taylor 6

There are no hills in it just slight inclines I think its a possible PB course myself and will be running it myself next year to try and break 1H 32MINS the garmin data is on page 2 of this thread hope this helps but you must be quick as only 5 places left.

Big Bertie

Thanks Alan. I'm already entered, just need to book the Travelodge now!

alan taylor 6

Event is full so will be sending out race info this week see you soon Alan T.

The Egyptian Toe

Congrats Alan!

alan taylor 6

Cheers Toe could have taken 15 more at garstang 10k today but its the first half I've done and just want this to go right and make sure we have plenty for the people that have entered and if the demand is there we will look at a bigger entry for next year and have a larger venue where we can park and do results in one place hopefully see you in july but dont forget book early.

Alan,

 What is the UK:A license number for the race?

alan taylor 6

For the event this year we are not running under UKA or ARC Insurance but have our own event insurance for a 500 entry with up to 3million pounds cover. The course is accurately measured to IAAF rules and standards and was measured by Mr Brian Porter who as many people know is a great and maticulos at what he does and gets it right. Hope that answers your question and next year we will be under either UKA or ARC so that many people who use the power of ten can use it and because it has been measured correctly club runners should be able to use it if they get a pb with there club hope to see you in a few weeks

Big Bertie

So, does this mean the race can, or cannot be used for meeting qualifying standards for the New York Marathon?

The NYM website states:

"Runners who meet the following qualifying time standards in a half or full marathon whose results can be certified online"

Can anyone clarify??

alan taylor 6

The results will be able to be accest online with all web sites such as runners world and so on as I will get shoestring results to post them with all the sites we have used for online entries.

Big Bertie

Thanks Alan. Do you have a measurement certificate?

alan taylor 6

Send me an email at alan.taylor7@tesco.net and I will send all info to you

Stephen Ashcroft

Hi NoSoup4U

How are you haven't heard from you for ages!
Hope you are keeping well.
Still waiting to see your race or for you to come and help
at races yourself.

Hope to see you soon

Big Bertie Mr Porter is a top measurer and will have included the certificate in the price when he did the measurement!
