jemson Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah, it is on their web site now. And it's April 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibbles Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 There's supposed to be an announcement soon about the new route (I'm suspecting it involves a football ground in S6). Going to be a big ask to fill the gap left by DVS IMO. Maybe it would work if BOTH clubs were involved. How's about a route Hillsboro - city centre - bramall Lane including a lap of the pitch at each? That would be special / unique but it'll be football season still so not realistic. I hope its 52 laps of Woodbourn Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Looks like it will follow the same route as before- and at least its not on the same day at the london marathon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Finishing on the grass could be fun. Esp. if it's raining and 7000 other runners have just come in before you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningowl Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Its the week before London which is as bad as on the same day. Not guaranteed to finish on the grass but seems likely. I think it should finish at the top next to the crucible (not theatre) ;-) ---------- Post added 17-09-2013 at 14:03 ---------- My question is where will they find the missing mile that will be short starting/finishing there?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they add a bit of Eccy park in to the route! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of turning down Jenson St they might send us further down Attercliffe Common to do a loop round Carbrook St/Weedon St back round onto Brightside lane?

jemson Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Whatever option they choose to add the extra, it's unlikely to be pretty, is it? And there's a fair chance that we'll be next to a demolition site. What an embarrassment for our city of sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's a fair chance that we'll be next to a demolition site. What an embarrassment for our city of sport. The council are looking to get the bulldozers in as early as November which the 'save don Valley' people are fighting. More likely to be next to either a building site or, if rumours are to be believed, a school for immigrant children. I hope it will be either handed over to the save DVS or they get the money for the sports park. But I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 How about a couple of laps of the indoor track in the EIS to finish? At least the EIS is inbetween DonValley and the bowl, so should in theory mean that the demolition if going on won't be seen. You never know the new facility and Velodrome may be complete by then....
