Still a few charity places left for the 50. I don’t think you need to raise very much (maybe £100?) for a place

I think quite a few places were added to the charity pile because there were a lot of people who didn't take up the places they got in the ballot. Very odd.

That’s surprising seeing as it was 3 x oversubscribed in the ballot —although apparently 200 who got ballot places didn’t take the option and pay for them
It is only 100, but you need to pay that 100 up front with the entry and then you can ask for it back if you raise at least 100. That extra miight well be too much for many to pay in one go.
(I paid the extra 100 in 2019 for 2020, I hadn’t raised the whole 100 when the race was cancelled and then the page closed so I didn’t get my 100 back - that’s not a problem for me, I took that risk and once money is spent it’s spent - but 100 is a lot of money to add to enry fee and travelling)
Where’s Synge? - get that entry in

True - but I was comparing it to the £1,000+ for a London marathon charity place

That’s true - there’s no way I could commit to the London requirements

I looked at the charity option, but I saw that entries were due to open one hour into my Saturday ultra. All the description of charity payments and fundraising and refunds looked quite involved and I didn't want to be faffing with that while on the move, so I dismissed any thought of entering. To the extent that I didn't even check the status of charity places yesterday or today, until a couple of you very kindly nudged me!
Anyway, I think I may be too late. Even though the big green "Enter now" button is still active, and I can get an entry all the way to the "Pay" option, I'm then getting a message that says:
"Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. The number of request header fields exceeds this server's limit."
I've messaged resultsbase and organiser@ ... fingers crossed ...

Ah! The collective opinion on Facebook, usually a very dodgy thing to pay any attention to, is that there is a conflict between the payment system and Lloyds Bank credit cards. Different card selected and ...
I'm in!

Good news.
I had alll sort of problems paying for mine. I think a lot of it is down to using a Danish payment processor.
