A few hundred still took the trouble to run and a sizeable chunk, I suspect, took advantage of the "double loop" aspect of the race to shorten the distance by about one-third and end their misery early.
I thought that would be the worst weather race I would run in my life but it was eclipsed by a long shot by Footstock Half in Cochrane last year.
