Given that there seems to be nothing on their FB pages from real people (or even fake people) and no mention anywhere of the supposedly held Sheffield and Birmingham events (the Birmingham one having been supposedly in Sutton Park, London),' and their internet domain is up for grabs, I think it stinks like a week-old fish. Sorry, princesszee.

(According to FB, they are very responsive and reply to messages within an hour, so maybe message via FB?)

Looks like the same folks that had a previous scam catch out another Fetchie this year. Aside from the Running Clinic being a shower of crooks, it’s also a bit sh*t that Bookitbee are still taking bookings for them.

May be worth fmailing tricialitt from the above thread and see if/how she got a refund?

There was a thread on RW a while back about Running Clinic "events". Total scam. Credit card might be your best/quickest means of refund.
