Report
Well done to all who joined us in Ulverston tonight for the first event in this year's Night Urban Series - we hope you enjoyed running around a different part of Ulverston. Apologies to all who had difficulty with control 8 on the Long course or control 9 on the Short - these have both been made optional and the legs either side removed, so your overall times will be slightly different from those when you downloaded.
As always, many thanks to all involved with tonight's event, the roll of honour includes Louise & Quinn for planning, Carol for safety controlling and the road crossing, Sandy as Series Co-ordinator, Jo and Lindsey for first aid, the control collectors Iain, Carol, Liz, Pete, Richard (plus one other) and the SI Team of Mike, Sandy and Michael.
Also, many thanks to the Devonshire Arms for hosting us tonight and allowing us to use their facilities. Finally, many, many thanks to all those who stopped to help the injured runner tonight - Alan, Alex and Jack (local resident).
