Hi Everyone,
5 athletes ran around the course today and it is in great nick to race, the roads are clear. At this moment in time the race goes ahead.
The weather is more of the same for Friday through to Sunday and although the course will be checked every day, the situation is unlikely to change during the weekend.
On the BBC and Met Office websites there is a band of rain moving in from the West on Sunday night with South Westerly winds. Temperatures look set to rise with Monday forecast 3 - 6C.
There is a concern here though - there is a likelyhood of some snow initially on Sunday night as the rain band arrives, but it seems it will turn to rain.
Our instinct is that the conditions will be fine to race, but we also realise that we have substantial runners travelling a long way to the race. So we feel that it is prudent to advise that at the moment we are full steam ahead for Monday, with a hint of caution on what Sunday night may bring.
We will monitor the course daily in the meantime as well as the weather forecasts and endeavour to keep you all fully informed.

I've just had word from the Race Organiser - unfortunately they have had to cancel.
Around 6 this morning some sleet / snow came down and the course has a thin layer of slushy ice.
A milk wagon is stuck on the bridge and blocking the road.
Gutted - sorry for all those that have set off or travelled up - half an hour of the wrong weather at the wrong time.
