KeithL May 2019 2:42pm, 7 May 2019 78 posts	Quote Pin KeithL Their website says its 12 weeks to consider if a new category can count as a record then a minimum of 12 weeks to judge that record (unless you pay the priority fee - which you have to pay for each step). But guess if you dont and if there is a debate then it can go on for just about ever! What time did you do?

He didn't have to wait for his certificate. His corporate backers paid the £4,500 fee! G

KeithL May 2019 3:03pm, 7 May 2019 80 posts	Quote Pin KeithL See you are doing Brussels HappyG (sorry well off topic) did it last year. Nice race , mostly out of town and some mixed terrain. Enjoyed it
HappyG(rrr) May 2019 3:54pm, 7 May 2019 31,293 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) I've put it in my portfolio but haven't signed up yet. One of the clubs I'm in (yes, I'm a club tart!) is doing it as autumn club outing and I thought I'd join in. When you say mixed terrain, it's not cross-country or anything, is it? I was hoping it was fast, flat tarmac? G

HappyG(rrr) May 2019 4:49pm, 7 May 2019 31,294 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) That's the one Ally - I still think it's a finer place to set the record for fastest marathon in Highland dress! G
57.5 Degrees of Pain May 2019 4:56pm, 7 May 2019 4,632 posts	Quote Pin 57.5 Degrees of Pain But surely 'Highlsnd Dress' is an affectation of the lowlanders . I assume some of the delay was in deciding what should properly be worn under a list for 26.2 miles?
