Ivybridge周辺の10Kレース

The Devon Trail Races take place at Roadford Lake in Devon. They start at 11:00 am from the PL16 0RL area, close to Broadwoodwidger. The event includes 10K, half marathon, and canicross options, allowing participants to run with or without a dog. Ben Tisdall is the organiser, and results are recorded using RFID chip timing. The 10K follows a single loop on trails surrounding Roadford Lake, featuring short, steep ascents and potential muddy sections. The half marathon covers the same route twice, offering a straightforward yet challenging format. All finishers receive a bottle opener medal and a choice of beer or coke. Prizes are awarded to category winners, and professional race photos will be available.

The Dark Dart Dash is a night trail race on the trails around Dartington, featuring a 10K main race and a 5K option. Both longer races are single-lap routes. The programme also includes canicross starts for runners with dogs and short races for children aged 3 to 11. The longer courses use mixed terrain: gravel, grass, some tarmac, and occasionally deep mud. Children's races are on grass, with a 1K for ages 3 to 8 and a 2K for ages 8 to 11; parents may accompany them. This race was one of the first events its organisers held and has returned after a hiatus. Registration is at the Green Table Cafe, which serves pizzas, hot drinks, and bar drinks post-race. The event raises funds for a new playground at Dartington Hall.

Haldon Night comprises after-dark trail races held in Haldon Forest, located near Exeter in Devon. The event offers 10K and 5K races for older participants, alongside 2K and 1K children’s races, allowing families to spend the entire evening engaged rather than solely observing a single main event. All participants run in darkness, with a head torch being essential equipment. The 10K and 5K routes are single circuits through the forest. The 2K race consists of two laps and is intended for children aged 8 to 11, while the 1K is for younger children aged 3 to 7. The courses are marked with reflective poles and arrows, a crucial detail given that runners navigate by torchlight. Ben Tisdall organizes the series, and records of past results are maintained for both the main and junior races.
