But this followed immediately on from:IMPORTANT NOTICE: In line with BOF rules there can be no under 16s on courses Green to Black because they have road crossings with fast moving traffic.
My interpretation of the rules is that those precautions (manned, and timed-out) should mean that under 16s can still participate. Were the officials being overly cautious, or are views changing?... these courses start at the South Start and will cross a road twice. This road is not particularly busy but traffic can be fast. There will be a two minute time-out to cross the road. The road crossing will be marshalled; all runners must follow marshals' instructions.
