it was the people manning the water tables I thought should have cleaned up after themselves - assuming they had some kind of surface/tables for the water cups. Surely when taking away the tables they should have seen the mess themselves. Any private group hosting an event should have cleaning staff organised for straight away afterwards to clean up, not just rely on the council (unless they have actually contracted/paid the council to do it).

The people at the water stations were volunteers who manned them for hours, and as i drove past TP after the event I saw all the materials they had used where all in sealed recycling bags... it was just the cups which were left along the roadside. Runners were told to chunk them on the side and that they would be cleaned up after the event - I'm pretty sure that they couldnt ask volunteers to walk along the road picking up thousands of cups under insurance issues!! But the roads were cleaned up after the event as promised and so i dont see a problem with it...

Well done to everybody involved and to those who stood on the streets to support runners or even that had bought jellys and water for participants, yesterday was one of those great eye opening experiences when you see the goodness of some people. Thanks again to all

The plastic cups in front of TP were still there this morning around 4am. Surely the organisers of the event owes it to the area they pick as water points to have the area cleaned as soon as the race finishes?
