The maddest, baddest race of the year is open for entries again. A couple of changes this year.
Biggest one is a 10 am start - Welsh Alex will never make that one on time!
also this year, we've sorted out the parking - IT'S FREE!! That'll stop some of the congestion, but only parking in the designated car park, otherwise the Candleston Troll will get you!
No price increase this year - and £1 of each entry will go to a local charity. You can get as wet, sandy and muddy as you like for a tenner, and get a Xmas pud as well.
I'll have my big pointy stick at the top of the dipper again to flush out any bush hiders, and i've booked in a hangover already, as its my 40th the day before - so look out!

well entries are already over 100 and we've only been open 3 days - get in or miss out!

This is one of my all time favourite races......I love it.....so disappointed that its a week later this year than normal. as I can't make the weekend before christmas
But I can really recommend it to everyone tat they will love it
Flying Ant got me to do this last year
he didnt tell me about the THIGH DEEP FREEZING strreams!!!!!!!!!!!
you loved it Hipps! coming back for revenge??
Seren - its always weekend before xmas, just that xmas is on the saturday this year - it's always been on or around my birthday, which used to seriously curtial my times [so much easier as a marshall]
for the past 5 years always been 2 sundays before christnmas because the sunday before christmas is always the church nativity
but still a briliant race and really well organised
Had an update tonight - the race is over halfway full already, in just over a week of being open.
If you usually do this one year on year, get your entry in asap - there's no on the day entry, and at this rate the sold out signs will be up before the clocks go back!
LATEST UPDATE.........
We are now 3/4 full, so if you were thinking about entering, get in quick! only 150 places left
MM61 - The address details are put on when you go 0nto paypal - if there's a few of you running then you can just use the 1 address.
should work fine - any problems let me know
Well, I did warn everyone.
RACE IS NOW FULL - NO MORE ENTRIES - BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR!
Full before November - that's a first!
we hope to get numbers out towards the end of november.
let's hope the stream is nice and deep!!
i have just been informed by the powers of the pudding, that all reserve places have also been filled. So, no more begging letters please, [unless accompanied by a £50 "golden bond"!!!]
all this rain will make the stream nice and deep!
Just back from a race meeting.
race packs should be out by the end of the month/ 1st week of december. Please take note of the parking arrangements and just park in the FREE car park. Also the 1 way system getting out.
biggest change is the start time - remember its 10am this year, so allow plenty of time to get to us!
further info as i get it - more rain has been ordered!
Mr Phil, looks like I entered online on about 2nd November.....I had no idea it was full or nearly full at that time. My payment has been made to B'Harriers via Paypal (it's in my bank statement), but just looking a few posts ago, it was full already???? I had no pop-up saying it was full, do you think I'm in? Guess I'll find out if I don't get a race-pack when everyone else does.....
Cheers, (from another Phil)
