at the end of the day
Very valid point Mrs S on the cut off for the GG, i,m sure there are many folk would love to jog/walk the distance but are put off with the 22 hour ruling.

It's just weird isn't it?
Unless I'm missing something?

I think it's just the same cut-off as for the actual race?
From a first look I think all Bill is proposing is to shift the start back by 6 days and leave most of the rest of the rules the same?
Even if you hardly run a step then 22 hours is less than 3.5 miles/hour which is not an unreasonable walking pace (and you don't have to go the high road if you don't want to  )

But you are a fab runner Ian! I've signed up for Race to the Stones since a few of the Stoney club are doing that.

The virtual one? I assume you'll be doing the 100km?
I'm still hoping Lakes in a Day will be on in October but who knows what will be happening by then!

Yes, virtual 100k.
I hope your race goes ahead Ian, all of mine are cancelled. I think you'll have a chance since England seems to be opening up quicker.

When did we think England races esp ultras (limited numbers of entrants, can easily be spaced out, accurate timing less important etc) might start up again? G

Grim Up North have changed most of their races (and they run a lot!) to be virtual until around September, and at the moment entries for their later races are frozen, suggesting they think they might be able to start putting on real races again Sept/Oct time (gov guidelines allowing of course)
Lakeland Trails are also starting to hint that some of their autumn series may be able to be run.
These are not mass participation obviously, and there's not yet any word of what sort of restrictions might be placed on runners. I have seen mention of staggered starts and dibbed timing in a couple of races which may be the norm at first
