Sorry to put a downer on this, but I received this email from a member of the Egg Run Team.
The thread does not make pleasant reading.

Hi
I write to you because you have registered as a member of the Wirral Egg Run forum.
It may be that you are fully up to date with the awful mess surrounding this year's event and precisely why it is that the organisers of last year's record breaking Run are not involved this year. I know not what you have been told about why we are not involved, we have heard various rumours and stories that are being spread about us.
I would like to ask you to take 10 minutes of your time to read a thread on our forum which sets out what has happened over the past 12 months. Frankly it does not make pleasant reading. It details the threats that we have had to endure and the events that lead up to the split and conflict that, yet again, dog the Wirral Egg Run. We have tried everything we can to sort this awfal mess out behind the scenes, but we have not succeeded.
Here is the thread:

We have decided what we will be doing to ensure that all the monies we raise will be going directly to help sick kids. You can find out more here:

As always, feel free to contact me if I can help you with anything.
Best wishes
ian
