Nelly Oct 2016 10:08am, 13 Oct 2016 3,573 posts	0 Nelly So instead of a goody bag full of flyers, that in my experience either get soaked in a sweaty race top or thrown straight in the bin, we've all been sent a link to a digital booklet of offers from Intersport, the race photographer (which we knew about already), High5, three different hotel chain spas, Starbucks and Erdinger Alkoholfrei manchesterhalfmarathon.com Whilst I probably won't take up any of the offers, I'd rather have them electronically, and I prefer them to a jar of pasta sauce or boil in the bag rice etc.

Nelly Oct 2016 11:04am, 13 Oct 2016 3,574 posts	0 Nelly Ninky Nonk, I've been doing a bit of digging around... mainly looking for a link for the tracker (since the one in the race booklet doesn't work), and based on the marathon tracker I found this page chiprace.co.uk when you click through to the Manchester HM page there are approx. 8.3k entrants listed so maybe we can expect 6.5k on the day? I notice that Race Jase is listed, however, given he's representing England at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on the same day I'm pretty sure he won't be there!
Nelly Oct 2016 1:54pm, 13 Oct 2016 3,575 posts	0 Nelly They must have been still adding details when I found that link this morning, as now there's 11k entrants listed according to the "Details" tab chiprace.co.uk
