Dartmoor Vale 10k then? Was hot last year!
the point is that for this course the official measurement is based on *not* using the pavements at critical points.
The official measurer's report in those circumstances includes marshalling arrangements where the marshalls have the ability to disqualify runners etc. The actual marshalls there were well-meaning cadets etc who would have no idea of the course measurer's shortest possible route.
Exmouth Harriers haven't followed the course measurement instructions, hence the issue...
I stand corrected if you have read the course measurement report; I know that these do include the issue of use RHS of road on right hand bends, etc. To be fair to the Harriers, the brief did say "keep left" & there were cones to stop corner cutting at a couple of junctions. On 2nd lap Police lady directed me through the cones at one junction!
Sure I more than made up for my shortcut overtaking several groups of runners running 2 and 3 abreast. Don't think the Jones Counter will have been taken on such diversions...
