Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Money was taken out a while ago but no confirmation yet. This is my first year racing, and so far the races I have applied for in this county seem to be very slow at acknowledging/confirming. Makes it crap to train for them and to not oversubscribe to others in case the one you really wanted falls through.

Sorry to hear of all your frustrations. It makes my decision to pay to be in the GNR Running Club and guarantee a please seem worthwhile now - I would hate this wait and last time I tried through the ballot I did not get a place (so ran in 2006 in a charity place).

I hope you all get the news you want very soon.

I got in weeks ago through the Telegraph and just got an email from greatrun telling me I've been successful in the ballot and payment has now been taken! I'll be mightily angry if they bill me twice! £40 quid's bad enough once round!

N1C, just checked the link and I can not be found either, however they have taken my money. Received an email on 11 01 08 stating Your payment has been successfully authorised and you have now registered to take part in the BUPA Great Manchester Run 2008.

Does this mean I am in or does it mean I am registered as interest to take part.

These organisations need to improve the way they deal with things.
