Yeah like others have said the record doesn't count as it was a modified course.
It seemed to be a fairly zippy route even for the mortals and in my opinion the weather was pretty well suited, and the paths all seemed dry.
Interesting to see how quickly it got dark with it just being one week later than usual.
A couple of runners from my club completed it this year. One of them came in just 14 seconds after the final cutoff but her and a dozen or so others afterwards were counted as finishers so not sure what the exact barrier time was or what the rules are. An amazing crowd for the last people in.
