Data from last year’s event showed 1439 of the 7065 runners who received a finishing time for the half-marathon took more than two hours and 30 minutes.
These events are usually commercial (and charge an arm and a leg) so they might be paying more for the extra time (road access, security/police, whatever other costs?) than they can recover from the slower runners
Pretty dumb decision then.
