A note from Bob Dredge (the race organiser):

Many thanks to all who ran today and even more thanks to the Marshalls who were out in the cold winds for up to 4 1/2 hours.

Morning After Results

Results for today's Morning After race are available here.

Runners with numbers in the range 100..180 are shown in the results as 1000..1080.
