Here’s the run route for 2010. My first observations are that you have got a long 11 mile run to get back to the old course from last year’s route, a lot of which is along A roads and along the returning bike leg which will make for interesting traffic management (which was one of the strong points of last year’s organisation). Then, the run along Chorley New Road and the Middlebrook Trail has been somewhat simplified and the turnaround point will be at the feed at the top of Queen’s Park, not at the bottom. Mercifully, you won’t then have to return all the way to Horwich as the next turn is at the Bee Hive Pub near the Reebok Stadium. The slightly worrying point is that, according to Mapmyrun the run is almost exactly 27 miles long.
