BUPA Great Yorkshire Run

[DunRunning 10]

Does anyone know how many have entered for next Sunday's 10k?

There is always thousands do this event so there will be loads taking part, i have done it a few times myself but dont do it anymore as it has become far too expensive for a 10k, should,nt be more than £15 for a 10k in my opinion. There are plenty of half marathons for less than this one costs.

One of the main reasons I won't do it.

 

It's far too expensive for a 10k.

To be fair, Great runs have always been expensive and criticized for that. However, plenty of other local races are not that different in price and Great runs do offer a proper goody bag, chip timing, elite athletes and a city centre finish. It IS quite an event. I will probably watch but would like to know which elites are running. Jo Pavey? Gemma Steel? Andy Vernon?

Only Gemma steel from your list.

I know what you are saying jemson but even so i think the great runs are way too expensive now, in saying that thousands will be running it so good luck to all who are taking part, have a good day, run well and safely and most important of all enjoy yourselves.

Thanks for that Rich. She`s on top form so should get a cracking time.

Gemma Steel was awesome in the GNR, think she got a PB by quite a margin. Anyhow, best of luck to everyone tomorrow!

Done this run before great!!

Ran in the 10k this morning. A well organised event with a great atmosphere. It may have cost £25 but good value compared to what I pay on a Saturday to watch football.

[jemson 10]

I watched and it looked like a great event on a lovely morning. The race was very close in the end although Gemma Steel was an easy winner in the women`s.

A slow race for all concerned this year, with both men's and women's times well down on preceding years. I managed a similar time to last year (despite having trained more intensively) but was 60 places higher than 2013...
