June 2014 Update
It's been quiet in here of late but there is work going on behind the scenes.
Race day is Sunday 15th March 2015
There will be places available for 2-person teams running half each
We have a meeting set up with Lewes District Council to review plans for 2015
Rob has got a general agreement in place with Lewes AC subject to final plans
There are some interesting ideas on the table for 'medals'
Duncan has filmed the course and a time-lapse move is in production
Entries to open in October 2014
Local running clubs to get opportunity to enter before general release
Start moved to avoid bottle-necking early on (same place as the Lewes Downland 10)
We have a sponsor for the marshall's (purple!) tabards
The race needs a logo - we're talking to a local artist about that
We will have a bag-drop for 2015. Tags to be issued with race numbers
Parking will be at/ near the finish, with school-style 'walking buses' up to the start
Our half-way point will be at Southease village green
- we're seeking permission to set up a marquee tent for change-overs, treatment
- it's close to a train station for those running in pairs to get to/ from Lewes
- there will be a medical treatment area and substantial refreshment here
We have an embarrassment of riches in the photography department
Official timing will be gun-time only
We expect circa 200 runners
There will be a suggested time limit of 5 hours 30
Runners for whom this is a first 26.2 will be expected to have completed a hilly half in under 2 hours 30
There will be a free pre-race course-walk to mark the course on Saturday 14th March (not marshalled)
