Organiser's Comments
The results now include all finishers . This includes about a dozen who were not able to wait to download while we fixed the hardware problems which cropped up on the day.
For these people, we have assumed you punched correctly and we have enstated a race time based on the start and finish times read from the start and finish units. Your splits are fabricated, and should be ignored.
Otherwise we believe the results are correct.

If you have pre-entered, you have been allocated a start block time, and these are displayed on the Fabian4 website. These designate a 15 minute start block. For example if your start time is given as 11:15, your start block is from 11:15 to 11:29.
These have been allocated in line with stated preferences. Please try to arrive at the start within your allocated block time to help us avoid queues building up at the start (and if you are hiring a dibber, remember to collect this from registration before going to the start.
Entries on the day are not allocated a start time and may go to the start whenever suits. Please be aware that there is a walk of approximately 1.1 km from the parking area to the Start. An unmanned clothing dump will be provided about 300m from the Start.

Mainly coniferous forest split into blocks at various stages of maturity, the majority of which are fast runnable.
There are numerous thickets, clearings, small knolls and pits, and some fine contour detail in places.
Courses have been planned to avoid the worst of the bracken, although some may be encountered on the longer ones.
