Our early birds, Jen, Dave and Katie, enjoyed a quick run around the lake as an unofficial course check for the upcoming race. Amazingly, there were NO puddles, which I think is pretty much unheard of for this course!

We were then joined by Judy and a bonus Lucy for registration and marshaling duties. Our list of sign-ups hadn't been updated since June, so we had to defer quite a few runners to the Havant AC team, but did have plenty of work to do with re-writing numbers lost from the previous race. And obviously I'll have to mention the poor quality of the marker pen we were given, the hand written numbers were not up to their usual calibre!

Duncan joined us for pack down at the end of the race, so he just about earned a good deed for his efforts!
