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!

Offering all these free events to everyone is a nice gesture if they actually go ahead, offering free entries means the revenue is cut further adding to the likely hood of them not happening.

In honesty I am surprised they are still in business.

As you say gimme medals - what events are left?

Perhaps offering free entry is a way of drumming up support. The average person is going to be happy with that and tell others how happy there are with the company. Hopefully then, they'll enter and so on.

I would struggle to recommend their events to anyone at the moment - maybe after a successful event, but I've not experienced that yet from these people.

You do have to remember that he average runner out there is probably unaware of what happened at Hull and I'd bank on a lot of people who ran at Hull not being fully clued up even now.
The only reason I've heard of Toro is through these forums and specifically Hull. Who organises a race is not exactly high on my list of things to find out to be honest. If it sounds good and the timing is right, I'll enter, turn up and run it.

Got something to say?
