Yeah, I received the same email Fergus. Like you say £8 for a RonHill T-shirt doesn't seem excessive... but like you claiming it for anything other than running 26.2 in the same day doesn't seem right, and so I don't think I'll enter.

That said, based on today's email "Runners signed up to our 2021 event have already saved a combined £15,000 by using the exclusive discount link below" at least 2,150 previous entrants have signed up for it, plus any "new" runners, so worth the organisers time at least.

For £8 I'm quite tempted to double bubble the virtual run-walk I'm doing on Sunday for London!!

(I am doing an actual 26.2m run-walk in one go for Virtual London, not virtually run-walking - that would be odd!!)

I’ve claimed my £8 discounted rate T-shirt after covering the distance on Sunday while the rest of the world was running for London. Even the standard £16 price tag seems reasonable in comparison with the offer Edinburgh Marathon have just emailed me: £30 for a virtual marathon you can spread over the rest of the year!

I agree, Nelly. Personally, I don't run a marathon as a way of getting a t-shirt. I have enough t-shirts. I run a marathon to know I can, and the function of a t-shirt is, at best, a reminder in years to come in my stack of running kit that I did it.

Yep, had mine a few weeks ago I think. At least I got an email saying I'd been refunded, didn't check the cc statement!
