26/02/2023 | Beyton, United Kingdom Tarpley 10 & 20 2023

TARPLEY 10M AND 20M

 
26 February 2023

Named after Bert Tarpley, one of the earliest Pacer members and former club President, this event is very much part of the local race calendar.  The course passes through beautiful countryside and is run along gently undulating country lanes. 

This event is run over two distances, 10 miles and 20 miles, and the latter fits perfectly into the training calendar for a spring Marathon. Each junction is marshaled and the course is well signed.  Please note both races take place on open roads which are lightly used, but are not traffic-free, so keep left at all times and therefore please also note the use of MP3 players or audio equipment of any kind is not permitted.

IMPORTANT RACE DAY INFORMATION

  • Could we ask that anyone dropping off a competitor does not access the car park, but finds an alternative location to briefly stop.  This is to reduce the chance of incoming cars backing up onto the public highway to allow cars out.  For this reason no cars will be allowed to exit the car park before 10.30am
  • Could we please remind you that the use of personal audio devices and earphones of any description are not permitted during your race
  • There will be a cut-off time of four hours from the start of the 20m race. This means there will be no marshals or support vehicles from 2.30pm
