stilldreaming Aug 2024 9:49am, 30 Aug 2024 1,454 posts	0 stilldreaming This included in pre-race info ..... There are early starts on both races - this means faster runners will come past some slower runners. Most of the time there will be lots of room but there are some narrow areas. If you have had an early start, please keep checking behind you and try to step to the side so the faster runner can come straight through. For the faster runners, please just shout 'fast runner approaching on left/right' - then give each other some encouragement. Alternatively shouts of ‘Get out the £€%£ing way’ and ‘elite runner coming through’ equally acceptable as they won’t be able to catch you.

I have been the early starter elbowed out of the way on a trail race by nowhere-near-the-front racers who couldn't bear to wait the few seconds it would take for me to let them go past on single track.)
