The run went well for one simple reason.</p> <p>Nothing much happened.</p> <p>Around 7,000 runners moved through Oxford on closed roads. Volunteers were in place. Water was ready. The route was marked. The day passed without the kind of incident that makes everyone&rsquo;s stomach drop.</p> <p>That might not sound like much.</p> <p>It is.</p> <p>When you&rsquo;re dealing with thousands of runners, road closures, cyclists, drivers, pedestrians, volunteers, marshals and the general public, &ldquo;nothing much happened&rdquo; is not luck.</p>
