Tarpley 10m and 20m
This is a road race held on lightly used open country roads near Bury St Edmunds. The course runs through countryside on gently undulating lanes, is marshaled at each junction and is well signed. The use of any kind of audio equipment including bone conducting headphones is not permitted. Littering outside designated drop zones will result in disqualification.
The event is organised over two distances:
- 10 miles
- 20 miles
The 20 mile distance is positioned as a training distance for a spring marathon. Both races start and finish at Race HQ located at Thurston Sixth Beyton Campus, Drinkstone Road, Beyton IP30 9AQ, and the event is chip timed. There will be three water stations on the 10 mile course and five on the 20 mile course, with water also available at the finish. There is a four hour cut-off from the start of the 20 mile race; beyond this time there will be no marshals or support vehicles.
Race numbers are collected from Race HQ on the day and the day before. Facilities include a help desk, toilets and baggage. Refreshments and cakes will be available raising money for charity. Appropriate medical support will be provided and competitors are requested not to race if unwell. A Risk Assessment is available from the Race Director on request.
Age restrictions: 10 mile entrants must be 17 or over on race day; 20 mile entrants must be 18 or over. There is a £100 cash prize for setting a new male or female course record for either distance. If entered as affiliated, England Athletics registration will be checked. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
