London's first half marathon???[edit]

This is a ridiculous claim, as hundreds of thousands of runners in London over the past 25 years will know. Where were these people when the running boom was on? Skeptic2 (talk) 09:35, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and it still reads like a blatant advert. Skeptic2 (talk) 17:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Licensing Act 2003[edit]

Something of interest to add to the main page, perhaps.

The 2008 race was not licenced (for music) as it was deemed to be "incidental" to the race and therefore exempt under the Licensing Act 2003. However for the 2009 race a Premises Licence was applied for. Local residents objected to some of the music stages, and as such 3 stages have been removed, thus there will be sections of the race with no music, thus no beat. The committee meeting decision (that supports this) is available on Greenwich Council's website: www.greenwich.gov.uk. 78.151.128.157 (talk) 22:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
