Second attempt – looks complicated on map but runs really obviously, should still be ok to marshall. More time to spread runners out at start, Less motorway, less tarmac. Can see runners three times per lap at start, or on North and South side of dream. No downside includes “iconic” hill, balcony, nice tree lined section on way to finish, much better views of Dream.
Have to work options on turning for second lap but there are crossings to grassland already so not a problem. Also have options on where to turn off on downhill after iconic hill (have to name this!) could take them off at same point they first reach the path (sharp left) as path I’ve used is a little narrow and rutted (again it IS a trail race I hear you say…)

First attempt – easy to read on map. potential problems pinch point after 100-200m, long stretch on motorway, lots of tarmac on northern stretch.
Good views of dream, nice steep descent, keeps in “iconic” hill, not too much overlap of two way runners
