VLM 2012 - how long before you cross the start line?

[Deleted User] · April 2012

Hi, Does anyone know how long it takes from the official start at 0945 until you actually cross the start line? I am probably in the 03:30 Red start zone in Greenwich Park.

Also, is it easy to start running at the required pace straight away or do I need walk/jog a bit until the crowds clear.

Much appreciate any info on this - as want to let friends and family know when they can expect to see me.

Thanks in advance. Tom

Staggly - I started in the 3:30 pen on the red start last year and was across the line after only about 2 mins and did the first mile at 8:00 min mile pace with no problem, more or less straight into running pace. Enjoy the race.

I agree that at that pace you should be off quite quickly. The last runners might take up to 25 min to cross the red start though.

Howdy, Stranger!
