"Why can't I run with my mp3 player?"


The reason that we set restrictions on the use of mp3 players etc., is due to our concerns for safety on this 2 lap course.
Runners will be using both directions on half of the road width, which is narrow in several places.
Leading runners are lead by cyclists, who will be warning runners as they approach them from behind that they need to move over to allow overtaking and also allow enough space for runners to also pass them going in the opposite direction.
It is vital in these circumstances that marshals instructions can be clearly heard.
