It's also due to you guys still running on steam rather than electric so no street lamps to light the way either.

And don't forget it's at least 10 degrees cooler north of the wall where men wear checkered skirts.

There's occasional non-Saturday ones around Christmas and New Year time at some of the bigger parkruns.

I was wondering the same, 9am Saturday clashes with my Taekwondo training. My local running club also meets Saturday mornings, so that's out as well!
