The new Safety Requirements do not spell out all possibilities but, for example, in 1980 the Ben Nevis race was infamously cancelled at the "last minute" but 9 runners ran the full route anyway.

If a similar situation were repeated and a runner were to die it is inevitable that the race organiser would be summoned to the Inquest and cross-examined in great detail on exactly what he said and did and did not say and did not do.

No race organiser should be put in that position and the new FRA Safety Requirement has been written to remind runners to act responsibly.
