World Airline Road Race 2010 London

The Race Venue and Details

 

At its core the World Airline Road Race is focused on two races, a 10k road race and a 5k road race.

 

The course required has to fit a range of criteria:

 

• It has to be a paved surface with minimal tripping hazards, be wide enough to cope with the number of participants without pinch points and have suitable start and finish areas.
• It has to be scenic; representing the country and city hosting the event.
• It has to be accessible for the competitors without the use of private transport.

The BA team are currently contracting for the right course and we will announce this as soon as we can.

Race Details

The race will be set-up and administered by the British Airways Athletics Club and with Race Director Simon Turton.  The club has over twenty five years' experience in all aspects of organising races with several open races being successfully managed each year.  Details such as course marking, start procedures, marshalling, the provision of first aid, refreshments and results are dealt with each time.

 

The club also provides two of the seven Senior Stewards for the London Marathon course covering the last two sections and the finish area and over 100 marshals enabling five critical pedestrian crossing points on the course.
