Thanks for that, I'll pass it on. I thought the age brackets would be the same as for the women, I'm in the 18 - 45 bracket (the top end!). I wonder why they're different?
Agree with Keith, the age brackets are pretty wide.
That's an extremely wide age bracket. I'm coming up to 50 and have recently fallen for the running bug. Was kinda hoping that i could realistically aim for a GFA entry that started at age 50. Does GFA places relate to the FLM only?
Not an expert Ivan Brace but my understanding is that only really big races have GFA. there is no accepted commonGFA approach and lots of debate over the unfairness of the wide age bracket of FLM GFA but thats just the way it is
I only mentioned it because these forums are totally infathomable and therefore incoherent because there are too many threads often saying or asking the same thing. I wasn't having a personal dig or anything, so please accept my best wishes.
Ah! Ok, cheers for that, hadn't spotted it! In fact, if I follow your link I can, but if I go on to the home page I still can't. Maybe it's my grasp of English!

A little tucked away, true, but there it is.
