I have decided to run again, its all Stellie's fault :wink:

Thanks for the link for entries :thumbs_up: .

I have only ever run the conservation fee route. It is rather expensive, but I divide the number by 365 days. That works out to less than half a beer a day. Once I have done that little mathematical excercise, I take away the points from my projected blood pressure.

Taking away points from projected blood pressure is done by adding self esteem to feelings of goodwill. This is achieved through a combination of raised endporphins and decreased jeans size. :wink:

My final exercise is to think of what is happening to the money I donate, the Rhinos, the rivers, the research, the bush that I love.

Once all these exercises are over, the conservation fee is a no-brainer.

Stellie, the first time I ran, I joked with my friends, "this is one race where you don't want to wear bright yellow and come in last"

Last time I ran, I wore bright yellow and came in almost last. :wink: Even the helicopter could only land once I ran in.

Hi All,

I have been looking where to enter for the 2012 event as I know it's very strict pre-entry. I am obviously blond, or blind cause I cant find it...

Little help will be greatly apreciated!

Normal entries are closed, but there might still be conservation entries. It is possible to enter by paying a conservation fee or getting sponsorship.
