keeping to our 1-week-before-London date.
The home of the BBC Top Gear test track, the Dunsfold route is a

This new
duathlon was highly successful in 2009 with all 200 places taken up
- for 2010 we have increased the size of the event and added a
pair’s duathlon with one runner and one cyclist per team as well as
the standard duathlon event.
The event
will take place at 12.30pm after the Dunsfold 10km and on the same
quick traffic free circuit.
The run
will take in half the circuit returning down the main runway to the
change over after 4.5km, the bike circuit is 3 complete laps of the
5km circuit and then change for a second run lap of 4.5k.

The
revised route for 2009 will be used again for 2010, which takes out
the grass section at the start and replaces the Tewkesbury By-pass
section with a pretty country lane section before the village of
Bredon and then finishing with just a short 200m section on the
grass to finish away from traffic on the Vineyards playing field.

11.00
Start of the 5km Fun Run in Queen Elizabeth Park.
There
will be NO cut off time but marshals will be stood down on a 5hr 30
schedule from the 1000 start wave (6.30 marathon pace from the 9.00
start). Runners outside of this time schedule will be able to
complete the route and collect the finisher’s medal but do so at
their own risk. A mountain bike rider will follow the last runner
taking down signage so the course will remain signed until the last
runner is complete.
Elevation
gain is 5728ft and loss -5523ft.
Medals to
all finishers in the Marathon and Relay
Salomon
Technical T-shirt for all finishers in the full marathon (relay
runners will be able to purchase a t-shirt).
7 Drink
Stations
SiS Gels
and SiS Go available at drink stations at half way and 20 miles.
In just a
few short years the South Downs Marathon and marathon relay have
become classics on the Trail Running calander - which is not
surprising when you look at the fly through video of the route.
We moved
the start to Slindon College on the edge of the Downs two years
ago and it was a 100% better place to start the race so we will be
using the College again for the start in 2010 with the rest of the
route remaining the same.
For 2010
we will be starting with a three wave system starting 30mins apart
with the first wave consisting of marathon runners who predict a
finishing time of over 4.30, then the relay, then the marathon
runners predicting times of under 4.30. The two marathon waves will
be based on times given but so that we have a meaningful race the
prize winners for the full marathon will only come from the third
wave - if you think you may be a prize winner in the open category
or as a Master then you must start in the last wave and ask to be
changed if you are allocated the first wave.
Because
of very limited parking at the start all marathon runners have the
bus from the finish line car park to the start included in the entry
fee.
