Dear Club Contact

I'm writing to let you and your members know that the second edition of the Titsey Trail 10K, organised by Oxted Runners, will take place on Sunday, 3rd October 2010, starting 10.30am on Limpsfield Common, near Oxted, Surrey.

The inaugural race in 2009 was a great success, with lots of favourable feedback. Runners particularly liked the course - a testing single-lap route through the lovely wooded countryside of the High Chart of Surrey and Kent. We also received compliments about the race organisation, and the delicious home-made cakes afterwards! What's more, we raised a substantial sum of money for our chosen charity, the East Surrey branch of the Alzheimer's Society. 

The start/finish is just off the A25 east of Oxted, Surrey. It's easy to get to by car, and within walking distance of Oxted train station, which has a regular service from London Victoria.

The flyer for the event is included with this email, and an entry form is attached. Entry can be made by post or online via Runner's World. More information can be found on the race website at www.oxtedrunners.org.uk/10k.

I'd be very grateful if you could draw this race to the attention of your members, and look forward to seeing some of them at the race!

Best Regards,

Martin Berry
Race Secretary

We return to Dunsfold for the 3rd Dunsfold 10km and 3km for U-15's keeping to our 1-week-before-London date.

 

 

The home of the BBC Top Gear test track, the Dunsfold route is a perfect tester for runners putting in a final hard tune up before the London Marathon or those looking for a fast flat and traffic-free route to round off the winter season.

 

 

22nd AUGUST 2010:DUNSFOLD PARK DUATHLON

Location: Dunsfold Park, nr Guildford

Star time: 2.30am

Minimum age: 15yrs

   Contact details www.209events.com or 01252 373797

This new duathlon was highly successful in 2009 with all 200 places taken up - for 2010 we have increased the size of the event and added a pair’s duathlon with one runner and one cyclist per team as well as the standard duathlon event.

The event will take place at 12.30pm after the Dunsfold 10km and on the same quick traffic free circuit.

The run will take in half the circuit returning down the main runway to the change over after 4.5km, the bike circuit is 3 complete laps of the 5km circuit and then change for a second run lap of 4.5k.

9 MAY 2010: TEWKESBURY HALF MARATHON & 5 MILE FUN RUN

9.30am start/9.40am for 5 mile fun run.

Age limit 17 for Half/12 for 5 Miles.

Entry limit 2000.

   Contact details www.209events.com or 01252 373797

The revised route for 2009 will be used again for 2010, which takes out the grass section at the start and replaces the Tewkesbury By-pass section with a pretty country lane section before the village of Bredon and then finishing with just a short 200m section on the grass to finish away from traffic on the Vineyards playing field.

 

23 MAY 2010: CANTERBURY HALF MARATHON

Venue: Canterbury Rugby Club, Nackington Lane, Canterbury

Start time: 10.30am

    Contact details www.209events.com or 01252 373797

 

 

12 JUN 2010: SOUTH DOWNS MARATHON AND MARATHON RELAY + FAMILY 5KM RUN

    Contact details www.209events.com or 01252 373797

 

0630-08.00  Buses for the full marathon depart  from the finish line in Queen Elizabeth Country Park to the start at Slindon College.

0900  First marathon wave starts (marathon runners predicting over 4hrs 30mins)

0930  Second wave - Relay Starts

1000  Third wave marathon starts (marathon runners predicting under 4hrs 30mins and all runners who might make the prize list.

11.00  Start of the 5km Fun Run in Queen Elizabeth Park.

There will be NO cut off time but marshals will be stood down on a 5hr 30 schedule from the 1000 start wave (6.30 marathon pace from the 9.00 start). Runners outside of this time schedule will be able to complete the route and collect the finisher’s medal but do so at their own risk. A mountain bike rider will follow the last runner taking down signage so the course will remain signed until the last runner is complete.

Elevation gain is 5728ft and loss -5523ft.

Medals to all finishers in the Marathon and Relay

Salomon Technical T-shirt for all finishers in the full marathon (relay runners will be able to purchase a t-shirt).

7 Drink Stations

SiS Gels and SiS Go available at drink stations at half way and 20 miles.

 

In just a few short years the South Downs Marathon and marathon relay have become classics on the Trail Running calander - which is not surprising when you look at the fly through video of the route.

We moved the start to Slindon College on the edge of the Downs two years ago and it was a 100% better place to start the race so we will be using the College again for the start in 2010 with the rest of the route remaining the same.

For 2010 we will be starting with a three wave system starting 30mins apart with the first wave consisting of marathon runners who predict a finishing time of over 4.30, then the relay, then the marathon runners predicting times of under 4.30. The two marathon waves will be based on times given but so that we have a meaningful race the prize winners for the full marathon will only come from the third wave - if you think you may be a prize winner in the open category or as a Master then you must start in the last wave and ask to be changed if you are allocated the first wave.

Because of very limited parking at the start all marathon runners have the bus from the finish line car park to the start included in the entry fee.
