Gogsy! Jun 2015 8:39am, 29 Jun 2015 492 posts	0 Gogsy! It's not a 'race' but is anyone else doing this? gbrelay.com With exactly a week to the start, there are more than a few spaces left. (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?
Kimbles Jun 2015 9:11am, 29 Jun 2015 5168 posts	0 Kimbles I'm suppose to be doing it but got things on now and might have to pull out. Its not a great time to move to as its the Scottish school holidays and a lot of people are away. The troassachs area in Scotland still has large gaps in it.

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.
