COURSE OR RACE HIGHLIGHT
This is a summer evening race, which changes everything about how it feels. The heat has come off the pavement, the light is going gold, and by the time you finish, the whole of Bridgeway Station is turning into a party. Directional arrows mark every turn, and off-duty officers hold the course, which is why the 60-minute limit is firm rather than a formality the roads have to reopen.
