Robbie WilliamsSep 1 2018, 10:58amCongratulations to all those entered this year.
Due to a large number missing the entry time we will re open registration on Monday from 9am to 11pm
****There will however be no t-shirts available for these late reg runners as order has gone to supplier at this stage.
Gordon PlaceSep 3 2018, 9:13amHi Robbie,

Sorry to be a pain, is it possible to switch from half to full marathon? Or I can just purchase entry to the marathon today if the existing entry can be cancelled?

Thanks,
Gordon
Patricia BlackburnSep 3 2018, 2:53pmHi Gordon,

Rose LeithSep 4 2018, 9:13amHi I have messed up on my dates and won’t be able to run this. Is there anything I can do with my entry? Pass on or refund? Or just inform you?
Thanks
Patricia BlackburnSep 4 2018, 10:41amSorry to hear that Rose,
unfortunately we cannot do refunds.
If you know someone that wants to do it I can
see if the I.T. guys can do a transfer.
You would need to get back to me today though.
Thank you for letting us know.
Tricha

Rose LeithSep 4 2018, 7:22pmHi Patricia- no problem at all it was my error.

Denise RyanSep 12 2018, 9:51pmHi , I’m just wondering if it is too late to register for the half marathon ?
Patricia BlackburnSep 12 2018, 10:08pmHi Denise,
Unfortunately Yes you are too late,,keep an eye on the event page for next year around the same time. Reg is usually open for two weeks previous to the race.Its a small window but 200 is our limit so you need to get in early.
Safe running and hopefully we'll see you next year.
