Tuesday 6th December – Sandpits cp
A mini series of club runs aimed at runners who would like to try, or return to torch running in a group. Come to 1, 2 or all 3.
Evening runs through Autumn and Winter don’t have to be spent pounding the tarmac under streetlights.
If you would like to run off the beaten track but lack the confidence, motivation or local knowledge these runs are for you.
We’ll go where the pavements don’t so you’ll need a torch and trainers with some grip.
This is a mixed group run. As long as you can run steadily for an hour / 10km you are welcome to join. We’ll run as a group frequently looping back so no-one is left behind.
Week 1, November 22nd: Town to Abbeyford.
A mix of unlit tarmac, fire roads, muddy footpaths and a rocky descent.
9km
Week 3, December 6th: The Ring Road.
It’s a local classic. And 2 days off a full moon. Running the track from Sandpits cp (above the army camp, near Rowtor) out to Okement Hill passing East and then West of East Mill Tor.
10km
Meeting at Sandpits cp (NOT The Pavilion)
East of Row Tor: turn left at the cattle grid after the Camp, drive on for ½ mile

We finish our series of 3 torch runs with a lap of the Ring Road. It’s about 10km and on a good track, although uneven in places.
It’ll be cold so please wear gloves and a hat and enough layers.
If anyone needs a lift from the hub please say.
