OK, so when the statistical check was done, it was clear that the rule breaches were not as a result of lack of understanding, they were down to lack of respect for the rules and the ROs...
The Bunny Runs have been singled out - but we all know that these races are clearly for U14s and there have been cases of Juniors who were even U10s running.
Those juniors come from clubs such as Wharfedale and Ilkley and the runners and their connections know full well that this is against the rules of the FRA so what action has been taken against them or their clubs?
Nothing I dare say.
No, instead we change the rules.
These rule changes will not stop such wanton, intentional breaches.
