Oh, I think you could be right! I can't see any specific mention of it, but it does look like men's kit.

It's a bit vague about precisely what the prize is Win ... "the ultimate running bundle worth over £380 including a Garmin courtesy of Vitality, New Balance performance footwear and New Balance performance clothing."

Entered but always wonder if the winner is still someone who subscribed to the mailing list(s) which I never do.

Gmail is your friend. I set up a spare email address for competition/ websites that require a registration via email.
Then it's easy to do a quick scan from time to time without cluttering up your regular email address.

Yep. It's what I do also. A dedicated competition email address.

I nearly always opt out of everything. Despite that, I won a £1,000 prize last year, a £2,000 prize 6 or 7 years ago, and a music synth worth £1,800 about 20 years ago. I have also won a cycle helmet, a picnic hamper (!), PC software and I think that there were a couple of other small prizes which I have forgotten about.

So, I think you don't need to worry about it - opt out!

I enter a LOT of competitions... probably hundreds of unsuccessful attempts between wins!

Competitions with free online entry are what make it worth the time and effort.

Premium rate SMS entry is a definite no-no unless you actually enjoy gambling with a tiny chance of a win...
