Yet again, another huge turnout of almost 700 runners and this year, the introduction of chip timing seemed to work a treat. The only thing missing was a bit of sunshine!

I am not recorded at all on the list of results.
I was number 818.
Great run yet again, the extra numbers didn't seem to make any difference. Chip timing was a nice addition which meant the results were available very quickly.
My only (very small) whinge would be there was no sandwiches or cakes afterwards only biscuits but maybe for the best as meant I only had a cup of tea & left rather than stuffing my face :)
Ken, send the chip timing company an e-mail. They should have recorded everyone finishing.... Email: info@precisiontiming.net
The reason there were no cakes/sandwiches was due to the sheer size of the crowd and having only a small hall available.
Lovely race, and rain even eased off for the start. Nice to have to avoid kangroos!
train option great for getting there, but when the access gate to train station was closed after the race it made gritting back a little problematic. Good event though and well organised.
Great race and well organised. Well done again EAGLE AC
great run, thanks EAGLE AC
Well done Eagle AC, great race.
Great race.Well organised and timing chips made finish line a lot easier and faster.
Great race, very well organised, good support on the course. Being an Athletic Club organised race, it would be nice to see names of Clubs in the results sheets, but this does not seem to be the case with chip timing ?
Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback!
Wrt the comment on results not having the clubnames included. There is a link to a PDF file on the Eagle website. This has the clubnames included.
I know what you mean and it does seem to happen a lot with chip timed races. I call results without clubnames, and sometimes categories too, "stone age results"
The normal club/area field on the Cheetah Run entry form was not a mandatory field, so we had an additional, mandatory, field added to cover this. (Several people got round this by "N/A"...meaning that they live nowhere...LOL) Unfortunately this mandatory field was not reproduced in the results on the Precision timing website, but, as stated before, you will get it on the Eagle website.
PS a small number of people were missed in the initial results. Several have been added and I expect at least two more will be added, bringing the total finishers to 704.
1st time doing the Cheetha run and it was great. Really well organised, pat on the back for all involved
