BOC 2013

Same happened to me at JK 1971 (it was called Senior Men C) but I did win it

[awk]

How about going back to the mid 1980s when there were 100+ on Men21elite and 100+ on long and short.

I can't find any of my old sets of results from that period, but I do have a set from BOC 1990 in the Ewden Valley near Sheffield:
M21E - 72, M21A1 - 161, M21A2 - 130, M21B - 168, M21C - 16.
W21E - 53, W21A - 105, W21B - 98
M19A - 57, W19A - 23

(Also M35A - 185, M35B - 51, M40A - 197, M40B - 71
W35A - 55, W35B - 36, W40A - 67, W40B - 38)

There were also 98 complete competitive teams in the Men's Open race and 40 in the Women's Open,with another 100 in the Short Open

If however the field is restricted, ... then other courses, ... acquire, 'championship' status, because the participants are not allowed to run the Championship course.

Hurrah, so I am the British sprint champion after all!
