I have run this race twice and both times have noticed something odd. When running through the Rosedale Valley road, which has sweeping left and right turns, most runners stay right all the time. There is no blue line painted to show the measured course, though I suspect elite runners run the tangents they are so far ahead of me I will never know unless I see them on tv! In particular I notice on left turns noone crosses the centreline of the road, even though there are no cones or other markings to prevent us from cutting distance. I have often read the course is intended to be run on the shortest line, traffic allowing of course, I am not going to elbow for position, but I want to run the best time I can. Will people follow me if I cut the corner or will I be looked on as a cheat? (This question may apply to other races.) Simon
