It makes for interesting maths and odds depending on your sex and if you’ve done it before 🤪 Basically, if you a returning male runner you have less chance….
Rosehip 3 Sep 4:28pm, 3 Sep 2024 33,077 posts	0 Rosehip will probably have to find something else to do next year then, was hoping quick fingers would get me in on Sunday. We're also away next week with no wifi and possibly no phone signal/data either so I might not get to respond to an email from the charity ballot anyway. I blame Gary Thwaites for giving it too much publicity on Tea and Trails

(I think the applications were 54% M and 46% F?) They are some way off being able to do the same for the 100 on account of the greater disparity of entries. I didn't know about the first timers weighting. (It didn't help me, anyway!)

But you do get proper coca-cola at all the checkpoints Wow, I'm sold In truth, when running an Ultra, I get so thirsty I will drink any variey of Coca-cola. No brand snobbish-ness from me.

If I get in it is a bonus, but I fully expect to be rejected.
