Worthing 20M (28 Mar 2004)
This is a fast, flat course consisting of four laps through the
suburbs of Goring and the western part of Worthing. Not exactly
the most beautiful or interesting scenery.
Only a short part of the route is closed to traffic, but this is
not a problem, since traffic is mostly light and the roads are
wide, and any problem junctions were well controlled by police
or marshalls.
This is a really bad race for people who don't like getting up
early - it starts at 9am on the day when the clocks go forward
for summer time.
Mile markers are present only for miles 1 to 5, then at 10 and
15 miles. It is still possible to use the 1 to 5 mile markers
to check your pace on the subsequent laps, but the 3-mile marker
seemed to have fallen off its post. Apart from that, a
very well organised race.
