CARN RUNNERS OF HOLMANS BLAYTHORNE 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
