Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday, but a couple of formalities just to mention now.

Looking at the BBC forecast for Sunday shows grey cloud for the area. Going by the usual accuracy of these forecasts this could mean blazing sunshine or a class 5 hurricane. Could I just remind people to turn up with standard fra kit (pertex type waterproofs will be fine), if the weather is looking bad we may enforce kit checks at the start.

Second, although the path we use at the start of the race is a public right of way, it passes through private farmland. The landowners have asked, that before the race, to make sure we stay on the path and do not use the fields either side for warming up. If people want to warm up on a slope they are welcome to run up and down Lightside which is just next to the race start.

Many thanks

Gordon
