I spent so much time catching up and nattering with old friends that I didn't get many photos before the race, but here's a brief glimpse of everybody gathering in the Hall at Cedars Upper School . . with the course map proving to be very interesting and even some runners communicating via semaphore . .

As always, Carmel and Dave from The Sports Therapy Room were there to help you prepare for the race . . and recover from it afterwards too . .

And then it was time to find the start line . .
