    Just for interest, and with the end of the year closing in, what's the cumulative distance you have raced in 2010 and on top of that, what was the total outlay for those races (registration only, not travel costs hotels etc.)
    I'll get the proverbial ball rolling:
    (And if someone can create a table all the better.)

    Not many races run this year, imra keeps the cost down.

    Not including pacing and estimating a few entry fees. I think I've missed out a race or two aswell....

    Not entirely sure about some of the fees but it should be reasonably accurate. Running ultras keeps the cost per mile quite reasonable.

    3 5k races at 20 quid each really hurts the average

    39 races. Mostly IMRA. Did a few charity races as well. Recorded the basic cost for these, usually 25 quid, though theres usually then a 'mandatory' sponsorship element bringing it up to the ton.

    In addition, I was fortunate to win a few races this year so quite a few races were self financing :-)

    23 mainly short races for me.
    Had a few self financing ones also, which more than paid for BHAA and Club annual fees, so the above is actual race day fees.

    The treadmill (13mths old) has cost me €1.50 per mile (so far) for an interesting comparison.

    Assume a bottle of red costs €7. That and a €50 voucher prize, means I surpassed my spend, to have yearly athletics income of €1. :cool:Professional Runner:cool:

    33 races total. One Freebie and 9 others paid by club. The 23 I paid for came to 158.2M, €273 and €1.73/M

    With few exceptions, I don't do the 'High Ticket' races. The main exceptions were: Dublin (€70) and Cork Relay (€18 = €90/5).

    12 races, 201 miles, €597, thanks largely to New York's whopping fee for international runners. I did get 5 free miles in the Roscommon bog-trotters marathon (forgiven, but not forgotten. :rolleyes:)).

    This confirms that d'pop spent most of 2010 at the keyboard snipping forum postings, instead of running and also that he has Cavan heritage judging by the amount of money handed over :D:D

    Just staying ahead of the curve SJ, there's great value races out there week in week out, hosted by volunteers or clubs. I didn't enter a few expensive races I would have liked to do, on a point of principle. €20 for a (100%) charity race was the most expensive entry.

    So you see, the fact that I'm a cheap ba$tard in real life has nothing to do with it, I'm just anticipating for the belt-tightening times a-coming. Call me a trailblazer, call me a hero, just don't call me when its my turn to get the drinks in:)

    33 races and I've had to guess the price I paid for a number of them and the exchange rate as well.

    I think it has got cheaper the second half of the year though as there are a few race series entered as something like £25 for 9 races or similar, as well as a few free ones that the club now pays for. Also any other race fees are discounted from a fiver to three quid typically once your a club member as well.
