CARN RUNNERS STORM FORCE 10 ROAD RACE
The Blaythorne 10 was first run in 1998 with 80 to 90 runners participating, it now attracts a field over 400 runners and is the first race of the Cornish Grand Prix Road Racing Series. It is the high-light of the Carn Runners year and a lot of hard work is put into its organisation by all members. The course has a couple of inclines and one short hill, in addition there are long stretches of flat road that should enable a good chance of a fast time. Mile markers will be clearly positioned along the route, and there are 3 drink stations situated at approximately 2, 5 and 7.5 mile points and at the Finish.
The course record was set in 2004 by Stuart Hall of Tipton Harriers at 50:59
~ Change of course for 2010 ~
The race begins on the Barripper road, south of the Blaythorne Sports club and follows the road through Barripper and up to Carnhell Green towards Leedstown. A short gravel section at approximately 4.5miles before turning back towards Praze and on to Camborne. Many runners will know much of the route from the old Blaythorne 10, however, we now have a very fast finish at Camborne school. Please keep in finishing order when in finish funnel so that your position can be recorded.
