. . on this page are just a few photos of some of the runners running away from the flooded meadow . . 

. . and a few photos of some of the later half marathoners crossing the meadow . .

Ian had fallen over on the course and I stepped aside to let the race doctor help him up the muddy slope . . but the doctor insisted on having his photo taken and who was I to refuse . .

Here's a tired runner's view of the finish straight . .

Couldn't have an event like this without someone like St John's there to lend a hand if necessary. .

. . and all over the country, people belonging to the local county athletic associations give up their time to ensure that events run smoothly, so a big thank you to them, and all the volunteers and helpers . .
