Note
Below is part of a message received from the Two Bays Organisers :)
"The Course Tampering Incident:
So here's what we know...The course was marked correctly on Friday.
Then a checking team set out on Saturday to go over all the bushland sections. They went through the McLaren's Dam area at 3pm Saturday and all was good. But some time between then and race time Sunday some comedian shifted ribbons from the usual trail across the dam, and placed them to lead runners into the loop behind the dam. Fortunately that trail naturally flows back onto the Two Bays walking track and only adds about 550 metres. Once the front runners did it, everyone else followed until I was alerted and ran in to fix the situation. Probably about 70% of 28km runners ran this extended version of Two Bays. No 56km runners were affected as they hadn't yet hit the area."
Hahahaha...I actually preferred the course with the extra loop behind the dam!
