Race conditions

11 degrees, gusty winds, rain showers, falling tree branches

Report

The inaugural "Serpies not too bothered about Rugby" handicap race started at 9am, the same time as the World Cup final kickoff between England and South Africa.

A triple whammy of the clash with the Rugby, cross country later in the day and gusty winds and rain showers led to the smallest ever turnout 'in the modern era' of just 30 runners.

A tree branch the width of the path fell in high winds and blocked the course, forcing runners onto the grass. Happily, Diana Valk was just ahead and Val Metcalf just behind the area when the branch came down and no one was injured.

Well done to all who turned up. Runners and volunteers alike should be awarded virtual handicap medals of honour for courage and bravery in adverse conditions!
