Anyways, was struggling to find a local one in Oct for my 12 HMs in 2012. I'll look to save some sponds in other months

I've not entered the ballot as although I do think it's a lovely race £45 is OTT (I get that there's a lot of expense with the venue, road closures, etc but it's still a lot of money to me). Thena gain my employer usually gets a load of charity places, which is how I got in last year. As things stand we've got probably 12-15 of us from my office that will be running it. I'm the only one that's done a half before so some of them have a pretty steep learning curve. Looking forward to seeing the results though.
