GENERAL BUSINESS
I would just like to request that if any runner is unable to complete the course for any reason, or suspects that they did not run the correct course but did cross the mat at the start and finish, to inform their team captain. This will allow us to follow up on very fast or unusual times as part of our standard verification process.
