Registered runners

[Philip]

Hey Tom,

Great to be registered again this year, looking forward to the run in May.
I was wondering if you could update the registered runners list to reflect runners in this years race?
Seems to list those registered from last years run still?

Cheers,

Phil

Hi Phil,

Excellent!  I am looking forward to it too being up there in such a beautiful part of the world.  Sorry for the confusion with the runners list.  I understand it isn't clear how this list is made.  The runners list isn't actually a list of runners entered in this years or last year's race although most in the list either ran last year or are running this year.  It is open to anyone interested who wants to participate in the general runners forum on the site.  As soon as you create a login to this site you get listed on the runners list (I think -I am on there twice which shows I'm not 100% about this).  Likewise not everyone who has entered the race this year has created a North Face website account even though they have created an AROC Sport account to be able to enter.  These runners do not appear on the runners list.  I guess it was done like this so you could see who was either entered or thinking about entering but I can't really answer this as my scope of work is to set courses and lift heavy things.  As for a list of entrants this year, I can't promise anything but I'll see if we can get a static one put up on the site next week.  As of this morning there are 280 solo runners entered including Ultramarathon Man, Dean Karnazes and 22 relay teams.  A fantastic turnout!

Cheers,

Tom
