Early yesterday morning Truro was very busy, with a lot of people, young and old, wandering around and waiting. They were waiting for a half marathon race, more than five hundred (half a thousand) of them. 520 runners began running 13.1 miles, from Lemon Quay, around the city, and then to Porthkea, Playing Place, and Cowlands, before going back to Lemon Quay. Part of the course is uphill. There are several steep hills. The course demands endurance rather than speed. The winner's time was one hour and twelve minutes. My son took an hour more, but he is older.

PLAYING PLACE (Kea Playing Place 1813) (E)
