Mags,
Thanks for raising this - the online list of entries is a great simple idea.
For us this year, I can confirm all entrants will be receiving a confirmation - either by e-mail if they provided it or by letter. We have been inundated with entries, almost 300 to date, and have a backlog to clear to get them all logged on to our official race spreadsheet!
I think the idea of just listing entered runners on a web page, is much simpler, and we'll set ourselves up to do that in 2008. Did the entry form say anything about agreeing to have your name posted on the internet (data protection and all that?) In the meantime please assure your team and friends that they will receive a confirmation shortly, and they will be secured a place in this year's events.
We'll also be posting details of the patsa party and some other activities for race weekend shortly....
Thanks again, and look forward to seeing you all in May!
