OVERVIEW
BURRATOR DISCOVERY CENTRE, BURRATOR RESERVOIR, YELVERTON, PL20 6PE
BURRATOR 10KM SUNDAY 31st May, 2020, 10AM
+ 2K & 1K FOR UNDER 12S AT 9AM
The Burrator 10K is a fast, flat route that is almost all on tarmac. UK Athletics license applied for and it will be run under UK athletics rules. The course was remeasured for 2019 and the start is now right on the Dam bridge.
The setting is stunning but it’s also perfect for a PB! It starts 0.5 miles south east of the visitor centre and does one complete loop of the reservoir and then 2/3rds of a second loop before finishing at exactly 10K about 300 metres from HQ (the visitor centre). This course, measured and certificated by England Athletics was first used for the Burrator Noir 10K, run on a wet and windy night in December 2015. There is just 113 metres of climbing on this course. And we’re sure a top runner in good conditions can break 30 minutes. However it’s also ideal for fun runners and beginners.
You can leave warm-up clothing etc at HQ (The Discovery Centre) or at the start for transport back to the finish.
Race entry includes: free professional event photos, secure left luggage facility, professional electronic chip timing (with separate gun times & start times), distance markers every km, 2 x drink & feed stations, our trademark wooden medals with custom printed ribbons, water in biodegradable corn cups & bananas for all finishers, category prizes & spot prizes (via our free to join Strava club). Open to everyone aged 15 or over. But for anyone under 15 we have Kids Races.
