Surrey Phil Feb 2016 8:24pm, 8 Feb 2016 1,261 posts	0 Surrey Phil To prove that costs can be kept down, we got a great deal from a local outlet for the medals and winners' prizes, Lucozade gave us drinks free of charge, high viz jackets were borrowed from another race director and we kept the race licence, insurance and St John's Ambulance fees down by restricting the field to a maximum of 150. As a result, we were able to give a good donation from our proceeds to the British Heart Foundation.

Dvorak Feb 2016 8:31pm, 8 Feb 2016 11,339 posts	0 Dvorak Fair price. A couple of Glasgow area ones which don't require road closures or policing are £8/10 as well, Grangemouth is £13/15 and I think Stirling; and the Polaroids were £16/£18. Suggest he takes £25 and enters the Baker Hughes instead :-p.
Old Croc Feb 2016 8:34pm, 8 Feb 2016 27,047 posts	0 Old Croc we have this and Brodie Castle 10k later in year ( we also have Glen Moray races but costs there are covered by kind sponsorship of that distillery - and all entry fees go to local charities for those races). We have had to increase price of Brodie Castle 10k to £15 - to include chip timing and a larger field. I still think that's a cheap entry. Based our costings on no sponsorship / donations but anything that we get will be ploughed into goody bag stuff or bigger medals.
