My longest run so far was just over 300 feet, but I used masons twine, pulled VERY TIGHT and I ran 2 lines, one low, just above the weeds and the slight rise 3/4 down the line, the other 6" below the top of the post. This also helped me make sure the posts were straight up and down.
I was somewhat lucky that the wind mostly blew ALONG the line, and not across it...
For a long run like yours, I'd be tempted to use some t-posts every 150-200 feet... just to support the string.
Best of luck...
Be well,
David
