Best of Morocco are the only UK company who have places- when I registered in 08 it sold out in a couple of hours but the drop out rate is very high so its worth getting on the wait list. Good luck everyone!!

I'm not registering....i'm not. No. Not again. No.

Birdy i think Runningsahara have taken over from Best of Morocco  for the UK now

and never say never..........

oh really? About time I guess I think BoM have had a monopoly for quite some time - they did look after us very well though. ahh, happy memories!

...tinged with blister related pain!

I got a "personal" email I once expressed an interest and was actually told I could have a place for 2012 - I think they must just lurk on various forums looking for people who are a little bit unhinged when it comes to running challenges!!!

Birdy - I gave up my club place for London this year - it ended up with just my name and two others who hadn't done it before in the hat and as there is only two places felt I should let someone who hasn't done it before have the experience.  The thoroughly enjoyed it and I wasn't fit enough anyway so worked out for the best, will not be giving up any places for next year though.

Right off to lurk on sub 4.30 again.
