Course Description (on permanent paths)
The course starts by the ‘Banana’ coach and car parks and skirts the top of the crater before descending into two and two-thirds anti-clockwise laps which zigzag inside the crater, passing around the Core and in front of the Mediterranean and Rainforest Biomes. On the final lap you turn right for the finish line when you reach the en-trance of the biomes.
Tracy Strydom made her debut here and is our 5th runner.

Thanks to the volunteers
We are very grateful to the volunteers who made this event happen: Kev BUDD, Jason FORBES, Ian GREGORY, Lynne JOLLEY, Luke LININGTON, Jen LITTLE, Helen MAYHEAD, Alex MILLHAM, Edward MORRIS, Lyndsey PARSONS, Neil PRIDDLE, Jason SMITH, Jessica SMITH, Janice WELLSTEAD, Katherine WHARFE, Matthew WILLIAMS, Samuel WINTON, Jack WOOD
Why not get involved and volunteer? This coming week we really are a little short at the moment and I am the RD so getting slightly apprehensive. We need another timer, 2 scanners ideally, someone on finish tokens and some more marshals please. If you are injured or resting it is an ideal way to stay involved.

This report will be permanently on our website where you can buy kit and renew memberships.
Also have a look at the Run Britain website where you can sign up for free, log your club and get a weekly updated handicap like in golf etc. Most who are Baffins on the site are no longer members! It automatically uses parkruns and some other races. A few you need to manually input. Any problems ask me.
