I know there's a very nice downhill stretch and flat finish along the seafront, but what comes down must go up! How bad is the uphill bit?

We're going to practise running up that Farleigh hill!
Thats the best part, you know the second half of the race is either downhill or flat, not an uphill in sight!
Yeah good hill to try, as is the long climb from bottom of Willington street hill until Sutton Road ESSO garage! ;p
Is the steady uphill bit like the steady climb in Willington St, after the dip, just longer?
Yeah pretty similer in parts, maybe a little steeper incline though! but not enough to make you slow down, but will get your HR raised!
Its shaded there as well, so if the sun is baking down you can run in the shade and stay quiet cool!
is it far from london?
ps.hello
i will be driving,good luck.
Shouldn't this be 10.am, or is my laptop playing tricks on me ?? !!

I guessed it must be 10am, but its nice to know other people think the same !!
Probably best to phone organisers and see if entries will be accepted before travelling down.
Confirms 10:00 start, be ready at 09:50.
And as of 20/7 there were 405 pre entered
Just picked up this thread. I'm on the Committee of Deal Tri and can answer your questions:
Yes there is a hill, but no its not 3-4km in length!! It comes at just past 3km and climbs into Kingsdown Village, probably around half a KM in length to the village boundary, and then a shorter 200 mtr climb to the top of the village. Then its downhill to the dead turn. All the rest of the course is pan flat, honestly!!
Thank you for noting the 10:00am start, we have to do that because the race is part of the Deal Reggatta celebrations and the public tend to wander all over the course in greater numbers as the day goes on.
We restrict the race to 500 because of the course size/width and safety is our first concern.
There are some places still available, but either get there early to blag one, or try e-mailing the Race Director (details on this website) and charm him into accepting your booking and collect number on the morning.
Finally, any swimmers may be interested to know that Deal Tri are also holding a 750metre sea swim race in the afternoon if the run race doesn't wear you out!
Sorry, I won't be there this year doing the time keeping as off to Paris to say goodbye and thanks to Lance!
Hope that's o.k.!!
Hopefully they will update the website soon!
if so what time and how far is it?
my 5 yo is planning to enter on the day !
hi wabo
might see you there?
what an earth happened there?
We got told to line up which all runners did, not even a 30sec, or warning that the race was about to begin, just the horn! no one knew what was going on! I lost a good 10-20secs in the confusion and maybe more time having to thread my way through the field!
I managed 36:25secs, so `reasonable` result for me, considering the conditions on the day!
Look forward to running this next year!
I'll second the cheers for the marshalling and drink stations. Good to see the kids get a race too.
Interesting course, one for next years' diary.
David, didn't you get a info sheet from the organisers with the start time on it? I must admist that there have been a few occaisions when RW has different times to the organisers own time. Personally I'm now of the opinion that I won't trust the start times on RW unless I have good reason to :-(.
Cheers
