Event summary
Joe Turner's Sweat
Sat 18th April 2020
Organiser's Description
The event will be fully supported by our first rate 4X4 Rapid Response Team and friends and family will be able to monitor participants 24/7 in real time. The route covers the first third of the Two Moors Way and is connected to our other popular Race With No Name, which completes the final section.
Finishers will be able to get hold of a commemorative epic of the Two Moors Way, which slots together with The Race With No Name to form the whole. The epic is a tribute to Joe Turner, who was responsible for opening the route in 1976 and passed away in 2004, as well as to our runners.
The Ultra includes three checkpoints at Simonsbath (10 miles) Tarr Steps (18 miles) and West Anstey (23 miles), and one at the finish point at Knowstone Village Hall (mile 28) before a further 2 mile out and back is completed via Knowstone Cross to make the 50k distance.
THE CHALLENGE
This is identical to the Ultra but includes the #PacePerfect Points System. Points are awarded for arriving at each checkpoint, as well as for every team that is behind you and how close you are to the hour. Teams of two to eight can enter.
