Do they have problems ?

Norwich is going fine, 100+ for first two events.

the timing is bad
starting two together like that
Not sure of the history of the thing, but the current race organiser has made it very clear he is only using brueton as a practice run for cannon hill
I am not sure if he was the original RO, or whether he just got drafted in at the last minute, i suspect the latter

That's a pity, I'm a bit suprised how close some new events are to existing events.

I'm considering a jaunt out to Bromley this weekend. I really want to run a 5k without two 180 degree turns...
