Description
Barnet Marine Park is a small area so we are going to use the event to practise using our control descriptions. This will also be good for anyone who isn't that familar with the course control descriptions that are used in the Why Just Run events. We have a loop course half of which makes for the Short course and the full course is the Long Course.
There are TWO railway track crossings at grade which means that TRAINS have right of way. If you are about to cross the tracks and the booms come down we will adjust your time to reflect the fact that you waited for the train. Anyone not waiting for trains can accept the consequences which may be severe! In the past this has not been an issue but it is a warning worth noting.
