Title: Full Van and Half Wold

First of all I have to say your results presentation is disappointing. At least the ones appeared after a couple of days, better than the Vanguard Way results which took weeks. But for your Richmond Park event you presented them in finishing order with these columns: Pos FirstName LastName Race No Time Net Time Category Categ Pos Gender Gender Pos - which is excellent. Why couldn't you do the same for the other events? No positions, no genders, no categories. The Vanguard ones were barely decipherable, and apparently only to the nearest minute.

The course is of course scenic and beautiful although personally as a medium pace runner I would prefer a course where I could RUN all the way. I don't like hills which are so steep I have to walk up - and even worse walk down. So I would have preferred not to have the 'out and back' section and maybe extend the course elsewhere instead. I was pleased I had opted for the half marathon this time so I didn't have to run/walk the above section twice! The marking was good though, no problems following the course. Much better than the Vanguard Way where I lost the course several times, especially on the return leg, and my 'marathon' was more like 27 miles.

So very enjoyable running in the lovely countryside, shame about the course preparation and the results processing.
