Bl**dy Hell, have you seen how much they are charging though - £86. I certainly wont be doing it this year if that price is correct, i think ER are making a mistake charging that much.

I have just looked on Runner's Worls and it does say £86

The L2B has been a goal for a hell of a long time but it's now totally fallen off my radar. I don't think I'll ever do it.

Reasons......

1/ Extreme Running's organisational skills are rubbish
2/ £86!
3/ Two nights in a B&B
4/ No transport back from the finish

I reckon the race will take up two days of my life, soak up the about £200, and although I reckon it would be an awesome experience I think I can get that experience elsewhere, better organised and at a fraction of the cost.

Too greedy.

 

Too much.

 

Event would cost me >£200.

 

No thanks.

 

The 24hr race I did, which necessitated massive organisational effort, a team of some 40 lap counters, tables and tables of food and drink etc etc, cost a total of ....£24.

Nothing to say at the moment.

Well my buddy George has dropped a BOMB and has just entered a 100 mile road run for £39 .....I am currently banned from running it by Mrs J but if anyone will be fit enough by mid year to become centurions I will do some extra chores andsee how it goes

 

If not I will be your pacer for the last 50 miles which Iam notbanned from........
