(Which is slightly worrying.) More importantly - is there anyone in the Dundee area that fancies helping me do the 10k Stage 54 from Broughty Ferry to Barry on the evening of Wednesday July 8th?

Surrey Phil Jun 2015 10:21pm, 29 Jun 2015 921 posts	0 Surrey Phil I am seriously considering doing a leg while on holiday in the area. However, I would prefer to finish before it gets dark due to there being very few footpaths. Although £25 to enter plus £12 t-shirt is a little bit steep for a 10-12k [non-race] event.
Gogsy! Jul 2015 4:42pm, 1 Jul 2015 493 posts	0 Gogsy! E-mail received today: Sorry. The GBR is postponed (Apparently there's an issue with the Guinness Book of Records so it's postponed until 2016.) Personally, I don't mind the £25 charge for an event where I have the whole 10k stage to myself ... I've paid almost as much for sharing that distance with 5000 other runners. However, with the 'no refund' policy, £12 for a souvenir top plus admin charge, this could turn out to be a £40 t-shirt if next year's run doesn't take place.
