There was room in both directions. It was actually part of the track. I’d guess that if you ran uphill there was a 15m run out and if you ran downhill it led on to an extended straightaway (~150m).
or in the movie that I attached to the blog there are actually two views that are the last things shown. Go to about 3:55 in the movie and watch and you’ll be able to see it pretty clearly.
