However if I organised an event I reackon holding it in summer is far safer than the possiblity of 100's of runners setting off in bad winter/autumn weather with only windproof bodycover.
I didn't notice too much global warming on Saturday around Helvellyn & Scafell Pike when the shards of ice were battering against my face & legs.
