I just phoned Sport Relief and got them to sort out some problems the team registration was having.
After that was sorted, I wanted to make sure what we were planning was within the rules, unfortunately the person at the other end basically said "we'd rather you didn't" and "it's not really allowed" because of obvious H&S concerns. She did say that if there was a reasonable number of us we could go in our own separate "wave" which would ensure we're separate from the the rest of the runners.
...I think we've got a problem. I wonder if the people doing other SR runs explicitly asked for permission/details or just assumed they'd be allowed to go.
She said that she'd pass my details on to the organiser for the Birmingham event and see if we can get official permission, and that this is more likely if there's a large number of us. Our team has 3 people registered and I said there'd probably be at least 5 of us (Me, Euan, Aaron, Euan's gf, and Aaron's gf, but I don't know if Aaron's gf is bocking). If we can get another 3 or 4 (Nero, K-Rock, Brendan, CJ?) then that'd probably be enough to definitely be allowed in.
I probably shouldn't have left this so late, there's only 4 more days to go :p
