Thanks! And I noticed the OS map showed a footbridge just south of the hotel (maybe in its garden) as well as the small road bridge just north leading to "Hazel Bank (Hotel)" -- I'm assuming the race goes over the road bridge, not the footbridge? Would be a ridiculous instant bottleneck otherwise. Sounds like it is worth sprinting a bit off the start, though presumably _everyone_ does that!
