"Having revisited the course at Marwell on Wednesday when we found it was fairly wet I think it only fair to warn you that, after all the rain we have had today, the course is likely to be extremely muddy for the race next week. I think it would therefore be of benefit if your runners were advised to wear appropriate footwear on the night ie shoes that have a fair amount of grip as people wearing normal trainers will find it very slippery.
 
In addition we have checked with the nearby hotel and unfortunately they do not wish to make their toilets available for runners so regretfully there will be no such facilities .
 
Trust this is of help and see you all on the 22nd
