Entry on the day was friendly and smiley . .

. . and there was heaps of Cake!

. . and oranges too . .

The clocks had just gone back and it was certainly a cool autumnal evening . . and this pre-race warm up looked like great fun . . and effective too . .

Think I may have been spotted here . .

. . and I've no idea why these random Christmas decorations were at the finish . .

In the final few moments before the race there was time for some of us to take a few more photos . .

. . and then walk across the Green towards the start . .
