June 2014 Update

Those yellow hi-vis vests (for that is what is meant by 'tabard' in this case) invoke roadworks and, for me, working on show-site. Purple is distinctive without being garish and will help runners to identify race marshals.

Purple was also Chris's favourite colour. The ribbons on the shrubs where his ashes are scattered (near the top of the Snake) are purple, as were his favourite running shorts. The arrows used for this year's test event were purple too.

And it just happens to be the colour of the RC logo. Kinda nice, we thought.
