NE, yep pretty certain it’s from race funds. Lump sums in the 1000s to local charities, footpath maintenance, bridge replacement (I think there’s two now), food banks, etc. He does seem to give a fair bit back to the local community. If it was all about cash he could charge double the entry fee. It’s a “relatively” cheap 100 compared to many, especially given the logistics involved. As well as encouraging others to donate and selling charity places. Can’t believe I’m defending him 😂

There's an off-chance I may still be lurking in the vicinity, in which case I shall come along and give you a cheer.

Rosehip Jul 2021 9:18pm, 19 Jul 2021 21,849 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip Very sensible Potentially starting later and the cut off worries me a bit though, to avoid congesion they’ll want to send the speedies off first won’t they?
STOOSH Jul 2021 9:36pm, 19 Jul 2021 3,294 posts	Quote Pin STOOSH I imagine if you start 30mins after the first wave then you'll be allowed an extra 30mins to get through the checkpoints surely! I expect i'll go into the hall for the briefing to sample the atmosphere rather than a facebook link. That's me finished up work now so time to get on with race admin (still need a couple of bits and pieces )and get my pre-race sports massage tomorrow.

My knee did start to improve after it though so although probably a coincidence I’m gladf I went. I do hope it cools down a bit. This mormning’s 6 flat road miles - with full pack checking the way I intend to pack it is right - had my hr up at threshold for a gentle jog-walk
