I've never liked that section against the runners anyway.
300 meters longer? I wouldn't have thought so but without doing an accurate A squared plus B squared = C squared hypotanuse calculation I can't be sure . Half of new line was the normal track to Plover Hill followed by no more than a couple of hundred meters over tussocks that will have soon become a trod with 900 runners whizzing over it. It would certainly be less dangerous than a head on collision anyway
