And Race To The Stones, (100k) will set you back £119 to £184 depending on options Both also have additional "hidden costs" for parking and shuttle buses back to the start

For some people it is their source of income, so need to make a profit. Other's are runners, putting on events for runners. It's not comparing like with like. However, just because a race is put on to make a profit is no indication of quality. Some of the most cost effective races are also the best quality.
