Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Oh that's good buzby (if a bit illogical to me) that it is the age on race day. I've always thought it was the other way round.

I agree but won't argue with them!!! Although technically they should say to 39. Then next category age 40-45 etc etc cos thats how the categories are split for all other races.

I thought it would be the other way round as well, but in some cases with things like that it depends on age on the date of the event that's being applied for, which is why I wondered in the first place.

Agree with catagory being up to 39 then 40-45 etc.

phew!! i was about to be very disappointed then. i thought i was right but couldn't remember how i 'knew' the rule!

although it's all a bit academic for me at the moment but i'm still hoping the docs will figure out what ails me and i can get training one of these days!

Does anyone know how the VLM places are broken up? How many go to ballot or charity places etc?

Roberto, that's lousy rotten luck; I feel quite indignant on your behalf. Unfortunately, I expect that they might take a 'my ball, my rules' approach :(

My GFA campaign continues with a second rest day... ;)
