Surrey Phil Mar 2023 11:13pm, 15 Mar 2023 9,213 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Apart from the start times for the BM10k and Marathon, very little has been divulged. Runners are expecting to have received their race packs by Monday and the event guide is being e-mailed on Saturday. Still no Park & Ride information either which is annoying a lot of people. Hopefully, the guide will include road closures and be uploaded on the website. If not, we can try and get you a copy if feasible, FDNB.

JJJ Mar 2023 11:11am, 16 Mar 2023 243 posts	Quote Pin JJJ Fragile - Brighton buses (buses.co.uk) timetables for 2 April shows the times they are (aren't) running but I haven't seen a published list. For road closures, assume anything on the race routes will be closed from early (6 or 7 am) and will gradually re-open through the day as the tail leaves the sections. I don't expect there will be much of use running to get you into town until at least late morning. If you have any specific questions please ask (I live in Brighton and have regularly volunteered on marathon so know most of how to get anywhere - brief summary; expect to walk!). Locals with non marathon things to do know not to do them in town unless it's walking distance. The lack of info is worrying at this stage.
Fragile Do Not Bend Mar 2023 11:47am, 16 Mar 2023 10,841 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend Usually if I have a day trip to Brighton I park in the Withdean park and ride and get a bus from the nearby stop in London Road (as the ones that go to the P&R literally go all round the houses). Walking isn’t a problem and we would have no particular time we want to get there but I have no idea where to park apart from at Withdean 😅
JJJ Mar 2023 2:59pm, 16 Mar 2023 244 posts	Quote Pin JJJ The buses from Withdean park (Tongdean Lane), 5, 5A don't start 'til midday on 2 April. buses.co.uk 27, park and ride from 8 buses.co.uk From Withdean you're next to the course all the way to town so probably preferable to walk and spectate then get the bus back afterwards.

Will see some frantic people arriving late and parking in desperation I think. I’ve at in-laws in Hove so the Hove Lawns finish is superb for me Given I entered this in 2019, I couldn’t remember my predicted time but clearly I went optimistic as I’m in blue…
