Click here for provisional YTRRC teams. The Club has a proud record in the Parrett Trail Relay,
which is now in its 8th
year, having taken part in all of the previous events and –
let’s blow our own trumpets here – pretty much dominated. We
always have more teams than anyone else (think 8 was the
record), getting all of our runners around Come run with us and you’ll find bits of Somerset that you never knew existed! Because of a limit of 30 teams, Crewkerne are making this on a first come, first served basis – we have asked for 5 teams (ie 30 runners) to be put aside for us but given our 200+ members we may need more – but we won’t apply unless we have runners’ names! If you want to run, please tell Martin Chaffey on 07929 054576 or martinchaffey@hotmail.co.uk Leg details will be confirmed nearer the time - the event will see changes to the route this year. The paths have been re-marked by Somerset County Council it has changed basically from Oath Lock up to Burrow Mump and the from Bridgwater Docks to Combwich. Crewkerne are looking to change things as at the moment Leg 1 is over 12 miles and Leg 2 is only about 3 miles! If you want to follow the Parrett Trail route Somerset CC now have a map and a detailed route description.Crewkerne Running Club’s website also has details (including route revisions) on their Parrett Trail page. 2009 Legs for info – see race website for 2010 stages. Leg 1 – Steart to Bridgwater Yeovil Memories of the Parrett Trail: “I remember the first Parrett Trail Relay – starting at 7am up on the coast, in sub zero temperatures, and running 10 miles in to Bridgwater with Mike Regan, with the fastest 6 runners on the Leg all going wrong for miles; then there was the year that Tim Hawkins went “bog snorkelling” on finding himself on the wrong side of the river; and of course, “that hill” at the end of Leg 6 last year!” (Martin Chaffey) |
