Thanks RocketRon. I've checked spam, nothing there. I would like to confirm that the registration has actually gone through (payment was taken) which i don't think I can see on that link. Is there a simple way to ascertain this?

Bodie68,
You will get a run on the day
thanks ron see you sunday..
hi Ron i cant make it sunday unfortunately, how do i go about a transfer or is it too late,if anybodys interested
Hello Ron,
I am running on Sunday - really looking forward to it. I did the Inskip half last January. My friend wishes to run also but has not entered - we intend to travel together from West Yorkshire, as long as she will be certain of getting an entry. What time would we need to be at the village hall by (assuming she will be able to enter)? Many thanks.
Not exactly ideal prep. Few too many beers and mince pies over x-mas and had the Noro virus the last couple of days. Look to be over the worst of that now so hopefully will be in okish shape for Sunday but can't say that I feel brilliantly prepared.
Oh well, looks to be a nice mild day anyway so should be fun.
Amanda
Always find an entry or two on the day, no one turned away. Park at Inskip, follow AA signs, shuttle buses run from 08.15am until 09.15 am 10minute ride.
Boothy,
Emailme ronmcandrew@hotmail.co.uk
and tell me which race in 2013 you wish to transfer to, or defer New year half entry until 2014
Brilliant Ron, see you there!
S Brown - you should have shifted the excess calories at least! Hope you have a good run. Forecast looking better and better!
My wife always says stick to the facts, so I shall try to do just that.
There to support my son.
Two water stations, my son felt these were insufficient. I was informed there were no road closures. At a briefing in the hall when folk were talking over the organiser(?) they were told to 'shut your gob'. Then a walk to the start. The longest starter chat I've ever experienced. Mile 4 Inskip Road, a long stretch. I pulled over in my car on the non-runners side. Stayed there for about ten mins, two vehicles drove round me and four cyclists. The half marathon support car asked me to park somewhere better, I ignored this as drivers could easily drive round my car with ease and not hinder runners. The support van then did a turn round and informed me again to move. I said I was not in breach ofany law. One obese chap then started to swear and the other informed that a) he would call the police and b) he would disqualify my son from the race because of my stance.
Other martialls on the course were very friendly and supportive.
The organisation of the event seemed to be very good.
At the finish I said to the obsese chap and semi obsese colleague 'thank you for your support'. This was met by the semi obsese chap swaering at me and the obese chap telling me to get out of his face or he will remove me, I would say I was about two feet from his face, perhaps this is too close for some people but I might be mistaken.
My son waited for his prize and at the presentation the junior prize had been left out and apologies came forthwith for this.
Thanks for putting this event on and my son is very pleased with his first 'proper' event.
