I haven't had race pack either as yet.
What are others going to do if doesn't turn up before race day?
I entered on RW and got the confirmation email straight back.
My packs turned up but if it hadn't I'd be going along with a copy of my email confirmation assuming you've got one.
The pack says this:-
"We are carrying out late registration at the British Waterways Boat Yard, Broad St, Wolverhampton, WV1 1JA"
Thanks Valley
Does the pack indicate what time we can arrive at the boat yard from ?
Cant wait to tackle those steps again
The gather time for the fastest runners is 8:40 so I'd head for registration before that
Congrats. Mine hasn't!
How did everyone get on ? x
My fourth one and despite tripping coming down the steps I quite liked the diversion. Looking forward to next year
Are there any official photos apart from the finish area ones ?
I must admit enjoyed the run this time round and the steps did not seem so bad as last year.
It is a unique half for sure
Sorry to hear of other peoples bad experiences, I have done this a number of times and never had any problems at all, and the organisation has always been really good in my opinion.
Saturday was good again, as said previously it was pretty muddy and wet in places, but was my first half since last September due to injury so I was happy to get round without any problems!!
Anyone have any idea how far this was with the diversion added on?!
My Garmin clocked it at 13.56 miles and my club mates were in a similar region.
Certainly wasn't a fast race for me, I don't like wet feet so spent the whole race dodging puddles.
I didn't find the steps too much of a problem to be honest given I wasn't chasing any kind of time but can't say I enjoyed the tunnel.
The only pictures I've found are those at the end which really come too late, you're already walking by the time they take it.
Nice event though and great to do something on a Saturday so I could go for a drink without having to worry about work the next day.
Recorded 13.48 miles for me about 0.25 miles more than 2012. Superb event though so unique
13.5miles for me Exactly.
Pics on stuweb - icon next to your time.
Really enjoyed it it but forget a pb with the extra distance, steps and tunnel - and mud - it's not really a pb course
