10am... isn't that a bit late for a half mara?
At least we'll get to see or maybe hear the elites going off...

Are they not going off from the city centre start then? That doesn't make sense as I though the whole reason the council "flattened" the course was to make it PB friendly for the elites as well as the masses.... and going off from Alexandra Stadium is not flat!
