To be fair, it's a good job I didn't come with the drama of this afternoon. I am sad to miss out on flapjack, hotpot, Tom Potson and Fetchie goodness though.

Why is this race so darned good? It really shouldn't be:-
- time of year
- suburban route
- open roads
- unexpected cow excrement
- hilly final 1.5 miles
But it is. Even if I did run 6 minutes slower than last year...

I think because it doesn't take itself too seriously it works. The organisers know all these factors should make it a shocking day out - but never is!
Roll on 2016....

That's a very good point RRR - the marshals were wonderful too!

it's a hard route to marshal, especially outside the garage.....

My favourite was the one alongside a turning with a fair tooting motorists who encouraged us all through saying 'it's nice of them to toot their support'

This year there was a police lady on the garage and I am sure all the marshals will appreciate your support.
It is a great day out and I always enjoy meeting fetchies. Considering I live on the 3 mile point, you'd have thought I would be good at the route, but I always find myself near the back.
Will be back again next year - look forward to seeing everyone again

I also liked the one who drew our attention to the old lady waving at us all from her window so that we could wave back

I waved to old lady, not sure who the marshal was at that point though.
Grandson was twitching the curtains pretending not to be watching, but the 1st 2 runners went through "as if being chased by a bear"
