I can't quite work out if you're being sarcastic or not there...

In case anybody didn't see it, the bit about pre-event course checking was in the latest volunteer update
"We very rarely add new volunteer roles to WebFMS but Event Day Course Check has been added to the dropdown menu this month. We completely appreciate that teams approach this in different ways depending on their course design and while it is not compulsory to use this role specifically the entire course should be checked before the start of every event."
The wiki also makes clear that this does not have to be a role separate from others. I suspect our approach (already mentioned) of doing a check as part of set-up is going to be the most common.
Anyway - breakfast time - need to be out picking people up soon.
Have a good run everybody

We have 2 set up zones and I advise the people doing them to check the paths as they set up. Job done!

Well in that case surely the 'faster' runners are just as likely to come across something in their and not notice it.....me being a slower runner has probably more chance of seeing what's in front of me

Possibly Mike is thinking of people in the more crowded part of the pack? The front is more strung out so a bit easier to see further ahead.

It was a brave effort but didnt make parkrun at Victoria Dock. Sat in Starbucks at the excel drinking coffee instead.

Course check was always done as part of set up.
Basic health and safety, having coached indoors for many years doing a check is a normal thought.
That said the briefing has been. Run at your own risk it is icy as hell out there
