Event summary

Unfortunately, the Spring Plym Challenge Day 2 event organised by Running Events Devon on Sunday 7th April 2024 in Yelverton, Devon has been cancelled due to weather warnings. The event was set to take place on the Plym Trail, starting at Clearbrook Village and using Cycle Route 27. Participants would have had the opportunity to enjoy a traffic-free tarmac route through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with aid stations along the way. Distances included a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon, with a 7-hour cut off for the marathon. It's a shame the event had to be cancelled, but safety comes first.

Sun 7th April 2024

A shaded, tree-lined path leads to a dark tunnel entrance surrounded by dense foliage. The path is slightly curved and bordered by verdant greenery on both sides under a partially clouded sky. A refreshment table under a red tent with a banner reading "Running Events Devon, Run for Fun" in the background. The table has various snacks, drinks, and supplements laid out, including bottles, plastic containers, and jugs. The scene is set outdoors with foliage nearby. A metallic dragonfly sculpture is attached to a moss-covered rock face. It has intricately detailed wings and a body resembling mechanical parts, blending nature and industrial art. Greenery surrounds the sculpture, enhancing its integration into the natural environment. A narrow, paved path leads through a dense, green forest with sunlight filtering through the tree canopy. The ground is covered in foliage and the path is bordered by lush, vibrant vegetation. The scene is serene and tranquil.

Organiser's Description

****Due to Weather Warnings in place, we have had to make the decision t cancel this event. ****

Our Plym Trail event starts at Clearbrook Village, we are based opposite the village hall.

The route uses Cycle Route 27 which formerly was a railway line, you do a quick out & back in the village and then use the trail which is traffic free, but you will share with walkers, runners, cycles & the occasional horse, it is a tarmac route (trail classification though) to Coypool turn point.

There is an aid station about halfway, around Bickleigh Barracks. Coypool aid station is your turnaround to head back, there are also public toilets near.

This route is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with nature & wildlife also the occasional Peregrine Falcon.

For a 5k you head down the trail through the tunnel to our turn point marshal then head back to us. For the 10k you will go to just past our aid 1 station, to the turn point marshal then come back to the finish. The half marathon you do one complete (to Coypool) out and back lap and for a marathon it is two out and backs to Coypool..

There is a 7 hour cut off for the marathon.
