Oops
Derby 10k today too, not taking part makes you realise how fucking annoying it is having the whole local area closed for the morning

How hard can it be to count the applications, then buy the correct amount of water

I'd hate to be the person involved in that job come Monday morning.

Apart from someone not being able to count, why could you not just take your own water?

On a half marathon, you would be drinking a lot more than you'd happily carry along with you. They have water stages along the route normally.

The daft thing being it probably wasn't even counted, odds are it all goes into a computer which spits out the number of entries. So I bet someone really feels like a tit right now

the deliveries didnt get dropped off this morning like planned from the supplier. Couldnt source enough from local supermarkets etc so race director had no option but to 'officially' cancel it. Runners still did it though just for the hell of it as the roads stayed closed.
