We do not operate a reserve list for three reasons. Firstly a reserve list would create a lot of extra admin for us and reduce the time we have available for organising other aspects of the race. Secondly, it would be difficult to operate a reserve list in a fair and consistent manner. Thirdly and most importantly, we would have to reduce our race limit to offset the extra runners on the ground a reserve list would generate. This is because we factor the number of runners that do not turn up on the day into our calculation when setting up the race limit which is based on entries.
