Burrator 10K

Burrator Reservoir

Yelverton PL20 6PE, UK

Sun 31st May 2020

3 races

£8.69 - £21.05

Organiser's Description

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.

There are also kids races for children aged 3-11

A very well organised race in stunning scenery on closed roads. The parking can be a little tricky, so make sure you read the race instructions. I will definitely do it again. Thank you to all the volunteers and supporters.
