I also have an entry available, same story, not fit enough (and I have exams coming up..)

There's a R50 substitution fee which you'll have to cover but I don't want anything for the entry.

DM me if you're interested.

My wife and I will be there. Looking forward to it and to meeting all the other VE members that are also going to be there.

I'm glad I don't have to put up with that David guy that weekend anymore...... Thanks for picking up his entry Rhinoandhedgehog.

My wife and I will also be running.

Another development regarding the marathon - from Snow Report SA's Facebook page

"ADVANCED FORECAST (subject to change) : We would not normally put out a forecast this far in advance, but this system has been consistent for over 48 hours now, so although there is a degree of confidence with this forecast, it is likely to change over the next week. A lovely cold and wet weather system is due to arrive in the Western Cape on Thursday the 11th May and move up through the WC, through the EC, and into KZN and Lesotho by Friday, with snow still possible during the early hours of Saturday morning in the easterly regions. We believe that it is possible for snow to fall over the high ground in all the areas circled on the map at this early stage. Some areas may receive light dustings, and other areas could receive as much as 15cm of snow, with the Drakensberg regions seeming more likely to get the heavier falls at this stage. We are hoping that this system will hold course, and not peel off to the south like last few systems that have showed promise. In addition to the snow, we expect this system to bring much needed rain to many areas from the Western Cape right through into KZN. We will update again on Monday, and will know a lot more at that stage. We hope that you have a great weekend"
