People who somehow manage to form queues across a passageway instead of along it, can they not see that they are blocking everyone’s way?

One of my favourite races has been cancelled due to lack of interest even though it is still three months away. The organisers don't appear to have advertised it that well and I don't recall seeing anything for the 2018 race other than the early bird entry offer. The Kent Circuit Marathon (previously Kent Roadrunner Marathon from 2012-2016) is a great event attracting a good few hundred runners, and where I got my PB.

Our own TZ, did a great job putting this on as the KRR but it seems that Inspire Races could not match what he and Sandra were able to achieve when they took it over last year.

What? That used to be a hugely popular race, what have they done to it?

I understand that it wasn't the cheapest but it was a quality event. Surely they know that the majority of entrants sign up closer to the event rather than months in advance. If they felt numbers were short, why didn't they look to contact all previous entrants. Apart from reserving a bib number, I personally have received no correspondence since June... and I've done the lot.

I feel we've been let down big time by Inspire Races and at present don't wish to sign up for any of their events, now or in the future.

Doesn't sound very inspiring - a bit of a misnomer there then.
