Tarpley 10m and 20m
This road event is part of the local race calendar and is run on gently undulating country lanes through attractive countryside near Bury St Edmunds. It is organised over two distances and is chip timed.
Distances:
- 10 miles
- 20 miles
The 20 mile distance is noted as fitting into the training calendar for a spring marathon. Junctions are marshaled and the course is clearly signed. Both races take place on open roads that are lightly used but not traffic free; competitors must keep left at all times and the use of any kind of audio equipment is not permitted. Littering outside designated drop zones will result in disqualification.
There are water stations on both courses, with three on the 10 mile route and five on the 20 mile route, plus water at the finish. A four-hour cut-off applies to the 20 mile race, after which marshals and support vehicles will no longer be present. Medical support will be provided and competitors are asked not to run if they feel unwell.
Race headquarters is at Thurston Sixth Beyton Campus, Drinkstone Road, Beyton, Bury St Edmunds IP30 9AQ. Facilities include a help desk, toilets, baggage, refreshments raising money for charity, and car parking close to the start and finish. Awards are given across open, junior, veteran age groups and teams, and a cash prize is offered for new course records. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
