• I've heard of an ambulance requiring accident almost every year I've done the Dynamo. Mostly caused by drivers on Epping High Road, but the fact remains that a large gathering of strangers is irresponsible in the current climate, unless things drastically change by June

  • Well, the Dynamo is certainly a massive social event, was always conceived in this way, and has become even more so in recent years as the number of possible stopping places that do tea and food has gone up. Compared to its size, and I think compared to every other major social event, e.g. festivals, ambulance and medical requirements are minuscule, but the intensely social aspect would certainly make it fall under possible restrictions that may still apply at the time. Let's hope that the situation has improved by July.

  • To be clear I don't think the Dynamo is unsafe in normal circumstances. I agree that it probably does better on deaths/participants than something like the London Marathon. Just that as things stand it would be a bad idea
