Doing my weekly check of entries, I spotted that we’ve now got seven teams already in the relay.
Most exciting! I’ve been hoping for more relay teams for a while, and this yea looks like it’s setting up to be a fun one!
Still plenty of entries available. I’ll do my medal order at the end of the month, and once that’s done I’ll decide how many entries I’ll cap the event at.
Good start this month. We’ve got 14 people joining us for the Maravan, and currently 4 relay teams.
I’m keen to get relay numbers up again this year, it was super when we had teams from across the North joining us for an end of season social, and if we get enough entries I can afford chip timing and relax all weekend.
There are still plenty of spaces available in all the events, and although I’ll keep entries open as late as possible, it helps me get medals if I know roughly how many I need, as I have to pay in advance.
The event has a licence for 250 people in total for the whole weekend, so come one, come all and see why people come back to this wonderful little event.
August has come, and as usual, this is the month that entries start coming in with a bit more fervour.
I’ve still to get medals, but all the important paperwork, permits, insurance and the like are already paid for.
And we’ve already got three teams in the relay. We’d like a bit more of a crowd for the relay this year – it really is great fun.
If you haven’t yet found out what it’s all about, then have a look round this website and find out what makes people come back year after year.
And if you have entered, why not bring a friend along, we’ve got plenty of places still available for both halves, bot full marathons and the relay.
As I’ve said before, this event is difficult to sell, but it’s such fun and we rely on the word of mouth of folk who enjoy this year after year to get their friends to join in.
See you November…
