The Beaver Cleaver Run

Has the axe finally fallen on the illustrious running career of SH3 self proclaimed front runner Beavershot! From the beer stop, after failing to break the first check, and being in danger of failing to be the FRB back to the runsite if he followed shreddy, he inexplicably decided to limp home along the road, together with the small children and the infirm. Even Softy's toy dogs were able to complete the entire long run and return to the runsite in a timely manner.
The 8 checks and 8 false trails worked well and generally kept the long runners within a few hundred metres of each other. However yells of disappointment were heard from the front runners when they arrived at the beer stop truck only to find it devoid of beer. Lucky enough they were soon directed to the swimming hole and waterfall where returning runner Conebrain and R2D2 had secreted their ill-gotten  gains and were attempting to drink the beer cooler dry by themselves. Although we were not able to quite achieve this at the beer stop, no effort was spared back at the runsite drinking the beer truck dry before the GM called the circle as the light started to fade completely.
The stats for this run are: long run length 8.3kms (if you found all the 'F's), maximum altitude 161m, total ascent 296m, run time (part of which was spent consuming a fair number of beers at the waterfall) was 1 hour & 35 minutes, with all runners, apart from one aformentioned recalcitrant, returning within a few minutes of the FRB.  The short run was either 3.2kms if you walked back along the road, or 2.2kms if you were wise enough to get a ride back with the beer truck, the total ascent for this run was a miserly 66m. If you followed squares back to the runsite from the beer stop (the blue track) on the medium run, the run length was 4.1kms with a total rise of 98m.
