The rules may be in the small print, but as a family who take running very seriously, weve always taken care of ourselves and not been injured. Its only when injurys do occur, that its a case of ,oh, you have to pay again.
In our group there are 4 adults & 3 kids, who all compete at the adult & mini bupa events every year, as far as were concerned they can shove it.

fifty quid is fifty quid, ive worked out that as a family weve shelled out over ??1000 in entry fees for both us & the kids over the years to BUPA, thats their lot, I intend supporting local events from now on.
but then again, we have to keep brendan foster in a manner he has come accustomed to.

Last year both me and the wife paid our entries to the 2012 great north, nothing wrong ith that, we had done so for the past 5 years, long with the manchester, sunderland and the edinburgh. We even became members to avoid having to go into the ballot. We asked wht to do as far as deferring our places due to us both being injured and were told to hand in our packs at the pasta. party booth. tried to re-enter this week to be told that our entry fees are non returnable, The greedy ####### have cost us ??100 by playing by their rules. We could have sold the places through work if we were informed about this, but as we read that entry places are not transfereble we obliged. The whole thing is a total rip off You have been warned looks like its fell running from now on, one gnr is equal to a full years racing Dissapointed TD
