As Chris said - check your junk folders for the email. We do use a mail agent to send the email out thus avoiding becoming labelled "spammers". The system tends to not like emails like admin@ or info@ etc so if your address is like that or a little unusual it may have gotten pulled.
The current entered list does lag behind a little too - sorry, can't always keep up! Top and canal bottom of it - if you haven't had the email, can't find it in your junk mail, can't see it in the tunnel and aren't on the current list - ping us an email so we can "sort you out" info@bbchm.co.uk
Train safe stay well - not too many bacon sarnies!
Is it me or is Irondogs photo of the tunnel looking really good? A week to go!!!!!! I've got my goose clobberer out of the attic and my "emergency £20" pocket ready on my shorts for the P&P afterwards. Anything else I need?
We wait until the bitter end to "prep" the info and numbers in order to best seed the starts. We are there now and are busy "stuffing" as we speak. Info and numbers out to all over the weekend so, depending on the nice postman, with you Tu/Wed.

1 week today we'll all be getting ourselves ready!
I'm looking forward to the tunnel as I've never seen it before but my Gran lived right by the entrance as a child and I remember her talking about it. Weather forecast seems to be picking up a bit perhaps?
The photo doesn't really do it justice......it's light for the first 20 metres and last 20 metres, and in between just dark so you can't see hand in front of face. I have a head torch at the ready and will not be ashamed to wait if need be to run through with someone else as I'm a wimp But I am guessing it might be a bit of bottle neck and a few people going through at same time??
Looking forward to it, although picked up an injury 1 week to go so ice packs and ibuprofen until race day for me, but going give it a good old crack. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Oh no, have new temp job and they want me to work on Sat if I cant get out of working can I let someone else have my place or is that against rules?. I did have look on website but couldnt see anything. xx
less than a week to go and my training never really got going for this so just hoping to enjoy the day and burn some calories...oh and get to the end...
Don't forget to take auto pause off your Garmin as you lose the signal in the tunnel.
Well I'm quite pleased with the gentle 10 miles I did yesterday when it was really warm here.... I'm not the best at running in the heat, so carried water, cap and shades and got myself round - if its as warm on Saturday I'll now have mote confidence, although like you Spence I'll be setting off later in the morning than most!
Heat destroys me......went for a run last night and is was very tough going, on top of that sore knee for the last two weeks which is stopping my marathon training ! arrrrgghhhhh. Thinks I might have next week off
Hope all the niggles, geese, tunnel, weather, changes of address, tunnel and the promise of beer at the finish (which is about 9 miles after the tunnel make for a good run!
Drink stations at miles 3,6,9 and 12 - loo's at mile 5 and a little bit
Info all making its way towards you - you know we are a friendly lot so we will try and push through the starts as quickly as we can - if you have a late start slot don't wait until 12.00 to get on the train!

Training's been pretty disastrous so I'll be glad just to finish it at this rate.
wow that's a way to travel Matt!
I've sent an email to the organisers - I've had a confirmation of entry so I've forwarded that to them - hopefully that'll sort it

It's ok for you fast folk when the sun is high you'll all be in the pub, I'll be still going!!!
It was a nightmare when I did it in 09, can't think for the life of me why I'm doing it again !!!!

Hi all

Thanks

Jenni - I can sympathise - I'm at Symphony Hall with my folks the night before, and a hen do on Saturday night!
Do I get something through the post?
Cheers
Tim
Yeti my training has been non existent so we may be walking together...
Spence I am really hoping not to do a P.W too as did do it slower last year than the year before and really can't run well in the heat.
It's only because I enjoy this run that I am doing it as all my summer runs have been really bad..
I am going to go off really slow and hopefully not get slower...
Good luck everyone...
Bit worried about my number as have moved house and not sure what address I put on my form.
