GENERAL BUSINESS
Congratulations to Glenn GALLAGHER of Legal Eagles, who completed his 350th run, the 32nd runner to reach this milestone.

We had several reports of runners following incorrect routes at various points around the course – for team captains it is a crucial part of inducting a new runner that they fully understand the course.  A map of the current course is here.  A copy of this map is also displayed on the A-frame board at the run.
