Old Man 26 Sep 1:44pm, 26 Sep 2023 4,343 posts	0 Old Man There's usually various discount codes nearer the time, including from EA or parkrun this year I think, I'd be in no rush to enter yet We were marshaling the first and last Km, 34 of us. The runners were great, the abuse from spectators was as bad as it always is though I'm afraid No idea what caused the delayed start
DocM 26 Sep 3:47pm, 26 Sep 2023 48,241 posts	0 DocM delay was thousands of runners had not recieved their numbers, (me included) and had to queue to collect them before starting the race. The queue was worse than any toilet queues ive ever seen and a lot of people just couldnt get to the start in time for the race start
Footpad 28 Sep 10:59am, 28 Sep 2023 6,215 posts	0 Footpad Due to a productive cough I missed running but my daughter ran her first 10K. I heard first hand how 'lovely' the spectators were as we waited for her to run past at the start. Ignorant fuckers the lot of them... and that's me being polite! I will be there next year.
Fitz 28 Sep 5:26pm, 28 Sep 2023 3,397 posts	0 Fitz I don't understand. Abuse from spectators? Passers-by miffed about not being able to cross the road I could understand (but not condone). But actual spectators?!?
McGoohan 28 Sep 6:08pm, 28 Sep 2023 53,169 posts	0 McGoohan Yes, I am also a bit confused by this. What was happening? I've never been abused by spectators at anything before - by plenty of idiots while training of course - but I've only ever had 'well done', 'nearly there' etc in actual races.
