It´s incredible how prices go up so quickly!
You can pick your race number on Saturday afternoon until 9 o´clock just before the pasta dinner, which will be at the same place, at the new stadium. You can also pick it up on Sunday until 9.30 pm. You can enter the race on the internet for just 6 euros in the web

but there seems to be a problem, so if you´re interested in this way, you´d better do it directly in

On the top right, there´s a moving sing "RUN TICKET". You must press it and look for Medio maratón de Almería in INSCRIPCIÓN : GENERAL ( PARA TODOS )
ENTER : GENERAL ( FOR EVERYBODY ) . In the previous sections it is for Members of the university of Almería, policemen/firemen/women and military men or women. If you want to enter on line, please tell me so that I can translate the heading to fill in the form.
You can enter this way until 24th January 2005 but you can do it personally on Saturday for 9 euros instead of 6 euros. If you are subscribed to Runners´World, you may enter for only 6 euros although I´m not sure since I don´t know if it is only the Spanish edition. I can phone them and find out if any of you is interested.
If you decide to enter on Saturday, you can pick up your race number at the same time with the gifts, a T-shirt and other souvenirs. After the race, they will also give you something else.
If you want to book the hotel yourselves and need some advice, you can tell me the hotels you are interested in to tell you where they are and what they are like, etc.
It´s a pity that Yorkshire Plodder can come. We could have another race in the UK where we all could meet as well.
Good luck, everybody! ¡ Buena suerte a todos !
