March Is Moyleman Month

RE: March Is Moyleman Month
All good points.

I could moan for England on the subject of cut-offs, but I know very well that if I was trying to organise a race, I would immediately see a different side.

A cut-off in these situations is absolutely fair. Let's face it, the great majority of people entering a tough off-road marathon are not in the 'fun run' category. The only reason I considered it (literally the only reason) was the sentimental link. But even though my fitness should be much higher then (am still planning to use my deferred London Mara place a few weeks after the Moyleman), I still think I would be dawdling a lot of the route. In fact, I was looking forward to dawdling the route to enjoy the countryside, but I realise now that this isn't the right event for that.

Just a couple of other possibilities to throw on the table which you can discard without any further discussion --

-- What time is the start? Is there leeway to say to slow runners that they can put themselves into a slower category, like at the P2P, calling themselves "Walkers", where they have to start an hour, 2 hours before the official start? But on the understanding that a Walker will not be classed as part of the official running race finishers? (Objection, m' Lud: would still need marshals etc on the course, so perhaps not.)

-- Maybe people in my category, either officially or unofficially, could have a Moyleman Walk the day before, where we walk the course and even use the opportunity to put up some of the way markers and signs etc?

In fact, damn it, I might just announce the Moyleman Walk for the day before. At the very minimum, would still be a lovely hike in the country -- though a long one. Even a walker would need to be pretty fit. Maybe just part of the route.

Either way, I'll be there for the weekend and will happily volunteer for whatever needs doing -- apart from running.
