The run will start and finish in the main car park in South Petherton to take advantage of the flatter terrain it is just over 22 miles long. This is not a race but a training run that people can take at their own pace confident in the knowledge that there are drinks available at appropriate distances and if they get into difficulties they can get a ride back to the car park. This is an event which CRC likes to extend an invitation to everyone to come and enjoy and, hopefully, benefit from. At the end there are refreshments which seem to get bigger and more elaborate very year. There is no charge but if you wish to make a donation that would be welcome.
The run HQ is The David Hall adjacent to the main car park in South Petherton where the run starts and finishes. You can leave kit there, use the toilets and get refreshents there after the run. The hall should be open from 7.45.
To try and keep people from getting too spread out we would ask you to consider your running speed and pick one of the start times listed.
12 to 13 minute mile pace start at 08.00
10 to 11 minute mile pace start at 08.15
9 to 10 minute mile pace start at 08.30
8 to 9 minute mile pace start at 08.45
7 to 8 minute mile pace start at 09.00
The first drink station is at 5 miles and then at approx. every 2.5 miles. The route will be marked and printed maps will be available at the start. Marking a 22 mile route is no mean feat so please take a map and remember that only turnings off the route will be marked with arrows on the road surface.
Hot and cold drinks and snacks will be available at the end.
