Tarpley 10 and 20
The Tarpley 10m and 20m is an established event in the local race calendar, named after a founding member and former club President. The event features two distances that take place on gently undulating country lanes through the countryside.
- 10 miles
- 20 miles
The 20 mile distance is positioned to align with training schedules for spring marathons. Both routes are chip timed and take place on open roads that remain accessible to light traffic. Because the roads are not traffic-free, the use of any audio equipment, including bone-conducting headphones, is strictly prohibited. The courses are fully signed and junctions are managed by marshals.
Race Headquarters is located at the Thurston Sixth Beyton Campus in Beyton, Bury St Edmunds. Facilities at the site include a help desk, toilets, baggage storage, and parking. Refreshments and cakes are typically available to raise money for charity. All participants who finish their race can collect a long-sleeve top from the headquarters.
Age restrictions apply to both events, with a minimum age of 17 for the 10 mile race and 18 for the 20 mile race. The 20 mile event has a four-hour cut-off time. Water stations are positioned along both routes, with three stations for the shorter distance and five for the longer course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
