Results are up and here's some highlights from this morning. More photos and videos coming in the run report being written by Molly.

Thank you to everyone who shared times and to our volunteers. We've done our best to align the results with the largest numbers of people's watch times. If yours is a bit out...we can offer you a free run next week 😄

Please share your time >> Fabulous to see so many people today despite the rain. Photos and videos are coming! The rain + phone apps made the timing tricky today so results will be delayed and it would help if people could share watch times + position number. Comment below or email our inbox.

We had some lost property today including an earbud found on the course and a bracelet left on the trolley...
