Evaluation 2010 231 runners took part. The biggest group of runners = 33. Allow a little more space for all schools to sit. Use of rope on reel to direct runners to the finish shute. Start line was a too narrow to begin with so allow a good 8 - 10 metres for this. The coloured trail was effective - just a few more markers were needed on blue and yellow trails. (leaves made red markers harder to see.)
