Yeah John, it took me about 3 attempts. Kept taking me back to the home page after I put all my details in. I tried again after a bit and it went straight through. Just try again a bit later.....the sites probably struggling with all the excited runners trying to register at once!

Don't leave it too long, though - they're predicting it'll be full by New Year.

I had no problems whatsoever.

There's a lot to be said for the online entry process. I can't believe I've signed up just like that for such a high profile event.

I hope your problems signing up John are now sorted and you'll be at the starting line with the rest of us in September.

I have been trying to enter since online entries went live...have had the same prob as you, night. Don't matter what time of day or night I've tried. I've emailed them three times now as well, with no response.
Getting totally p***ed off with the whole thing...

I emailed the organisers 2 or 3 times last year asking various things, but no emails were answered.

Are you listening, GNR people?

At £29 x 47,000, you should be doing better than this.

Totally agree with you RC!

Trinity in thread, I've emailed them and got an 'out of office reply' saying they will reply on the 2nd Jan so I'd try them again then...

It worked for me.

There I was feeling sorry for myself for having succumbed to one of the many cold bugs around. And now I have an entry for the first time ever to the GNR. It'll be my first half in (rapid counting of fingers) ooh say 10 years.

I'm already feeling better.

I have just checked my bank account and £29.60 has been debited but I have received no e-mail confirmation.I think the total entry fee was £29.60 for an unnattached with no entry to the pasta party and no results.So what do ~I do ?Enter again or what?

Trinity in tinsel

29/12/2003 at 18:54

Don't enter again...it looks like your entry has gone thru. Email them by clicking on 'contact customer services' and keep a copy of your email just in case.
