to marathon runners...help

[haribo]

Hello, my sister is coming up from Bristol to run the marathon. Her start time is 9am so she wants to be there at 8am. We are in West Dulwich but can drive to East Dulwich station to catch a train, but does anyone know a great route to get there? If you are running please could you let us know how you intend getting there, by car, train or bus?!! Many thanks, any help much appreciated!! We are very new to this.

When I did it Mr Pickle dropped me and my friends at the Blackheath end of Belmont Hill, and it was then just a short walk to the Heath. Could be an option if you're planning on driving anyway?

Wish her luck! I loved every minute of it, the atmosphere is amazing.

Pickle, thanks for that info. Was there a lot of traffic getting to the heath, i just don't know whether train would be better? Thanks for your wishes too!!

Train isn't better if a lift's an option. Pickle is right that you can get right up to the start if you approach from Blackheath. Red Start (charity runners) is from Greenwich Park, but the others are on the Heath. Traffic is fine, or was last year.

Presumably she's an elite woman if she starts at 9? Main race is 945.
