I have too say i loved the course,really enjoyed it. Two complaints really No. 1 The mile markers were incorrect on the road definately the 2nd mile marker was out.No. 2 The times are out also i crossed the line beside another guy and he finished 15 seconds ahead of me?.
Yip times are out a bit alright on the plus side. The lack of a clock at the end was a tad annoying. Maybe the other race that day had it ?
Mile marks wrong also. 1 of them was like after my garmin went over the mile and the next one was early too but then again you can't trust your watch with trees etc so I'd say the markers were probably right.
Have been trying for the last hour to access the results, have downloaded the most recent abode etc? What do I have to do? Surely it cant be that hard to put up easily accessible results?
times are work that's for sure. i am out by 20 secs as was the two runners who finished in front of me. obviously the sheer size of numbers and failure to have a clearly makred start line played it's part. mile markers were out at 2 and possibly 3. the incorrect times were probably caused by the 15/20 sec delay between the finish and the chute. great to see large turnout and fine course
Fantastic race, organised well - great to see the juveniles running too. Really enjoyed the run on an excellent course and although the mile marker may have been out at mile 2 - a minor mishap only. Great event!
Good race and nice course, would have been perfect if there was chip timing as times were out by around ten secs. Also could have done with markers with 100 metres to go to finish line, 200m etc. Finish line also not well marked as it was only with about ten metres to go that I saw it, too late to put the boot down. Intend doing race again next year though!
Really enjoyed this run...tough little course and a nice challenge straight after xmas day. Lovely to see so many runners out and as someone said earlier really nice to see the Juniors taking part too. I will definately do this again next year.... lovely scenery too.
Hopefully they can get the timing issues sorted for next year with some sort of a better system, if they do this could be a really memorable annual event.

Possibly if you are trying to view with an iPad or iPhone, you might not have the required Flash software installed.
they added around ten secs to my time. overall ejoyable race thought
Now changed the link to another set that most people will be able to view.
