In a Facebook post, they said: 'Due to the nature of our course and our visually impaired runners and their guides we would rather you didn't run with headphones - it makes it difficult for our marshals and guides to communicate with you.

'We appreciate that some runners do feel naked without their music so if you must wear them please remove one headphone to be able to hear any marshals instructions out on the course too.' Â
