[QUOTE="JCMaloney, post: 7152179, member: 2821"] Yep, they went a bit early with boundless optimism. The problem they have, and don`t seem to "get". Is that every event is different so you can`t just drop a framework that will work for all. I`ve done some tourist runs and the variety in space and distancing is massive and that is just for the runners. As far as the volunteers go the briefing & start are fine, course marshals is fine. The biggest issue is the finish & processing function. Finish funnel.......... gets crowded even at our local where we make it very long. Get token ..........then someone has to scan the barcode wristband/bit of paper/shoe tag whilst said runner is huffing & puffing. That same person on our local run will be scanning 100+ runners and we have 4 or 5 scanners. Then someone has to take all the kit home and wash/clean it. That said I really miss the folk we meet up with.......... and the cake...I miss the cake.. .:cry: [/QUOTE]
