The finish area was pretty much ready and waiting by the time I arrived at the Farm . .

. . and slowly but surely more and more runners arrived . .

Race HQ was busy . . and John spent the morning feeding us information about the race . .

If you followed the signs you arrived at the right place to collect your race number and timing chip  . .

As race time approached, Swales Fine Foods were doing a good trade . .

. . and runners were still arriving when I went off to get ready to take photos of the start . .
