Nelly Oct 2014 9:35pm, 13 Oct 2014 1,991 posts	Quote Pin Nelly I agree it is a lot Bob, but at least it's clear when you enter that the majority of the entry fee is going to charity as you're asked whether the organisers can claim Gift Aid on that portion of the fee (£20ish, I think).

Not as if I'll ever be troubling the prize money either - even when I was running well that was a distant dream! Guess I'll wait for payday. I'd rather spend pennies on a weekend away this month

Wilmslow Half is a high standard race with a great atmosphere so tends to sell out quickly. Nelly - yes, I feel a PB is on the cards - especially if you train hard all winter, race a few parkruns and 10ks, do cross country... and avoid injury

After that I can only take entries from a limited number of local club runners and elites.
