The following are the results of the FMC 4 Mile road race on Sunday last. You will see that there are 429 times but only 421 runners recorded at the end of the funnel.
A total of 8 people left the funnel prematurely (some in spite of being asked to remain until their numbers were recorded). The result of this is that a lot of runner’s times do not correspond with their actual times. It is in everybody’s interest that this practice should not continue into the future. If it does then we have to seriously consider if it is worthwhile going to the trouble of timing our events.
Yours,
The BHAA Committee.
