Conundrum indeed! The weather was a bit grim though not quite , but it was very cold & windy. I don’t know if this route has been run before but I tried to more or less memorise it, and as the race progressed I thought – this doesn’t resemble the map. Eventually the route we were running came up against a tape across the race line (at the farthest point south), the runners crossing it and returning back the way but on the other side of a hedge. Some vaulted it; I tried a racing limbo and had my hat swept from my head for my trouble. Bill assumed a diversion around a neighbouring building but just lost time. So I have no idea where we were actually supposed to go. We followed all the marshals directions and marking to that point, but the GPX trace is quite different to the published map, as you can see. Hopefully the whole race took the same route; certainly all the runners in my view took it. Anyway we enjoyed it! Stewart Whitlie and Iain Gilmore did well too, with 1sts in their categories. Results

The Mystery is revealed: Tweed Striders were organising for the first time and apologised for the slight blip in marshalling resulting in people running a different course from that advertised. But as everyone who was there ran the same course and covered approx the correct distance and feedback on the event was great, we’re all looking forward to next year’s race already.
