Hi

It is a long time since most of you entered back in January/early February – but its nearly race day!

A few of you have since been able to get your entry by swapping in with some of the early entrants.

The online transfer system is now closed – however there are still plenty of people on the waiting list if you are find that you are unable to run.

Swaps are now only available by contacting me via graham.hall@outlook.com – (last day Friday noon when I will have to draw a line).

I will refund your fee (less £1 admin cost) provided I am able to “sell” your place to someone on the waiting list.

You collect these on the day – details of where and when available, and info about parking via these instructions – you can find your race number and results via our partner results site RunSignUp

PS – A reminder about some of our future races:

26^th April, Coast Road Spring 5k – enter on the evening at Redcar Rugby Club.

10^th May, Locke Park Pie & Peas 5 Mile – enter www.nmhraces.net

Thank you for entering this year’s Locke Park 20 Miler – with 10 Mile option.

Once again the race has been sold out and with just under 4 weeks to go, we have a waiting list for places.

In the last 10 days we have discovered an alternative 1 mile lap that avoids using the bridges on and off the island, and has 3 fewer right angle bends. For those entering for the first time this won’t mean a great deal, but to those that are returning having run in one or more of the previous years, you will hopefully find this agreeable – PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS via Give us your feedback This lap has been officially measured and certified.

You should have received an automatically generated confirmation email within a few minutes of entering, these can go to your junk mail folder, so it’s worth finding it to check the details are correct – date of birth is the most common mistake.

You can make any corrections yourself via the entry site - click for example.

What to do if I am unable to run?

If you know someone that would like to use your number then do the following:

Check to see if they are on the waiting list, if he/she is on the waiting list and if so let me know and I will do the transfer.

If they are not on the waiting list then you can do it yourself via the entry site – click for example. If you are a club member and the new runner is not then you will need to let me know by email, and I will sort that out for you.

For the above you can sort out the financial arrangements between you.

If you don’t know anyone who wants to use your number then let me know and I will transfer it to the next person on the waiting list. I will refund your fee (less 50p to cover Paypal’s charge).

The transfer system via the entry website will be available until about a week before the race, after that I will transfer runner’s details into the results system and you will then need to email me to make changes. You will be aware of this happening as I will be sending out race details at this time.

Cheers

Hi

I am emailing you because you are on the waiting list for the Mermaid 10k.

I have closed the waiting list, at least for the time being. I can't be exact but last year I think I transferred about 40 people from the waiting list into the race, so for most of you there is still hope.

The waiting list system has a bug in it, hence some, if not all of you have got an email saying that there is already a place available. There are currently no places available.

Here is a link for the waiting list in "pecking" order. If at any stage you make alternative arrangements or simply change your mind, then please let me know as it will make servicing the list easier.

As places become available I will email the next person on the list offering them a the place. They will have 2 days to respond and then I will offer it to the next person. As we get closer to race day I may offer one place to five people on a first come first served basis. I was making transfers right up to two days before the race in 2016! So again if you change your mind let me know!

Please keep a lookout for my emails and respond promptly.
