^ race director explains the decision - they had to wait for the polic investigation, runners were getting v cold and the road closure times had to be honoured. Nothing else they could do really. What a nightmare for them. |

Have just got back home (150 miles although I was closer on Sat night) after turning up for the event. Frustrating for all concerned and I attach no blame to the organisers. The runners were getting very wet and cold so the cancellation probably saved some pulled muscle injuries. At least I got to meet fellow Fetchie Minardi. A bit galling that the incident is now being confirmed as a false alarm. |

Awful for you AT  - whoever called the police might be feeling a bit daft, but better a false alarm than something like Boston happening again. Sad times we live in really. |
