Almeria 2010

[El Gordo]

For anyone struggling to complete the Almeria entry form...

Firstly, check out Anlu's earlier message: http://www.runningcommentary.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=1740&pid=18401#pid18401

Next, read what Sweder wrote a couple of years ago:

-----------
As in previous years there are some anomolies on the registration form for overseas (UK) participants.

1) A couple of boxes require answers in local (Spanish) format. These are the postcode box - Codigal Postal - (which does not accept letters) and the Lic. federativa No. box. In both cases I used a made-up number - 71177. This worked. To be sure that anything posted gets to me I included my UK post code with my county (in the Provincia box).

2) Telephone numbers can only be 9 characters long. This procludes use of UK numbers but you do need to put a number in, so I lopped off a couple of digits to make the numbers fit.

If paying by credit card select the Tajeta Crédito - ON LINE option in the last drop-down box. This takes you to a fairly simple online payment page.

NB: If you don't have your own championchip a final screen pops up warning you that you are responsible for the chip if you lose it and that you should return it to the authorities after the race. There was a chip collection point in the tented area after the finish this year.
----------------------------------------------------------

In addition, remember to click the dropdown boxes and select "NO" to all the questions about whether you are in the army/at the University etc. It's not enough to leave the answer as a dash. (Not that I necessarily made that error myself of course )
