How entry works

The 10 Mile, the Saturday 5K and the Double Blossom (both races) are filled by a lottery that runs over the winter, and you enter with a card that is charged only if you're selected. 100 Mile Club members and runners turned down in each of the two previous lotteries get guaranteed entry, and charity places are another way in.
