Latest news on 24 October 2011 . . . .

  • A single amendment to the main individual results so get the latest edition from here >>>.

  • A request to anyone who ran the Tavy 7 and used a GPS device. We had the course officially measured so we are confident that it was 7 miles down to the last centimetre! However, our course measurer, Chris Marcol who also ran the race, would like to hear from anyone who used a GPS to see what their device showed the distance to be. He would like to study the range of distances to see how this technology compares to the very precise measuring done by using a bicycle! Mail Chris at chrisjanmarcol@btinternet.com.

  • The story of this year's Tavy 7, together with a small collection of pictures taken by the Race Director's 11 year old daughter, nicely summarises the day >>>.

  • Fun Run Results now available here >>>.

  • Individual results here: the list of prize winners here >>>.

  • Well! We are back although those who were there will appreciate we had some difficulties, largely due to the wind. The gale that came across the Walkham Valley played havoc with our facilities and we are sorry that we could not provide the changing, baggage and registration facilities we had planned.

  • But we did receive 413 entries in total with 380 crossing the finish line. Thank you all for coming and we do welcome any feedback - come back direct through the CONTACT link to the left or go to www.runnersworld.co.uk where you can rate the race through their Events pages.

  • And, thank you also to all the Fun Runners who seemed to enjoy their 1.5 mile off-roader. We are planning to publish the names and times although that is likely to be later next week.

  • The race was run in memory of one of the Tavy 7's greatest supporters, Martin Gibbs, who tragically passed away earlier this year. A great big thank you to Martin's wife and daughter, Tina and Holly, for doing the 'official business' of presenting the prizes and starting both races in such great style.

  • We have raised £1250 for St Lukes Hospice thanks to your wonderful generosity - thank you.

  • And, last but no means least a massive thank you to our fabulous sponsors (all listed left), Tavistock Lions, the two main landowners who provided the parking area and our Race HQ location, Ambrosia for the hundreds of flavoured custard pots which filled the goody bags and all those Tavistock AC club members, their family and friends for doing such sterling work.
