Race #4 of 5 - Tewin (Garden City Runners)
** Please take particular note of PARKING LOCATIONS. **
Race HQ: Tewin Memorial Hall, Lower Green, Tewin, AL6 0JX http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=527155&Y=214695&A=Y&Z=3
Facilities: There are limited toilet & changing facilities at the hall but no showers. Absolutely no muddy shoes/boots in the hall, please.
Refreshments: There will be some refreshments at Tewin Memorial Hall after the race. As well as the normal tea & coffee there will be some bread and soup and cake so you are all welcome to join us in the hall after the race.
Parking:
Parking is a real problem at this venue and is limited to around 100 spaces. Please share cars as much as possible. See map for car park locations:
1) Tewin Bowls Club (c. 40 spaces) This is just 300m from race start.
2) Tewin Pavillion (c. 25 spaces). This is half a mile walk from race start, so leave time !
3) The Rose and Crown pub car park (30 – 40 spaces)
The pub is open from 12 noon and will have the Sunday lunch menu on which may be of use to some of our runners wanting a pint or Sunday lunch. Please find attached the link to the pub web site.
We politely ask anyone using the pub car park to vacate it by 12 unless they are staying on for lunch.
The start/finish:
The start and finish will be at a junction of paths close to Tewin Bowling club (grid ref 267147).
The race will start by heading SW on a wide track until it meets the concrete path and turns right. There are then nearly two complete laps of the main circuit, but near the end of the second lap, the route will turn left for a short run in to the finish, with a final right turn just into the funnel.
There is not a large grassed field/area at the start so please be considerate when leaving bags and belongings.
(NB The old (2007 and earlier) start and finish area in the bottom field by Tewin Water School is out of bounds.)
Race start: 10.30am: Men & ladies will run together and the same distance; 2 laps plus a short run in and out along the bridleway
Race distance: Approximately 6 miles. Men & ladies run same distance.
Access to the start and course:
From Tewin it is approx 0.3M walk along footpaths across open fields. Take the footpath that starts by the Bowls club, 50m south of Lower Green and the Memorial Hall.
The course: Stone/mud bridleway to start and the main laps are clockwise loops on farmland over footpaths and farm fields using public rights of way across private land. Therefore competitors are asked not to stray from these and to pay due regard to underfoot conditions at all times. Please keep off the crops! There are stiles and gates to negotiate on the course so please take care. Studs or trail shoes are the most suitable footwear for this course. Spikes OK but beware the short, steep downhill section on the concrete path.
Hope to see you all Sunday 15th January.
