Will, Try being in the last group when you AREN'T carrying any water & they've packed up the water stations, then we'd see how "amusing" you'd find it.
The "fuss" is about a dangerous lack of water, (none for 9 - 10 miles. Not many before that) a short course, (HM 60 m short, full 16 m short) no t-shirts left, & no race cert. These things happen to matter a lot to some of us, when running a marathon is a very big deal.
just got my number for Clowne half marthon and aswell as water stns at this race they have sponge stns hot showers at the end at the local school great countryside race anyone not done this before give it a go
They generally measure short for any run if you follow the exact shortest line. the way they work means they will always have some error - less over longer races but still some error.
I get really anoyed that people belive there garmins rather than the real route.

My t-shirt is finally on its way.

It was officially 16 metres short according to Ron. HM 60 m short.
When's Clowne Compo?
it is the 28th November and good one Clowne is just of J30 of the M1 on the south bound carragie way
Has anybody ever looked at how a garmin works?

Garmins are a tool not a measuring tape.
with me I only use a stop watch to time myself not into garmins
