I'm assuming that, with there being a waiting list, it's generally a full complement on the start line?

Do runners get turned back / DNF?
It's very rare that there are even 500 runners on the day, even though the limit is 600. I know a few friends who got injured between the point of the entry details being allowed to be changed and I know people will enter and decide that week if they fancy it or not. Unavoidable, I guess
