Indian Queens Half Marathon
Registration will be from 8am to 9am in the club and will close promptly. Affiliated athletes to wear club vests. All numbers to be collected on the day. Race starts at 9.30 am at the old school opposite the main parking area. You will be kept in a holding area for the safety briefing then brought onto the road for the start.
The course is circular, gently undulating for the most part with a small hill section in the middle and end. It makes use of the 7mile Goss Moor Trail, lanes and minor roads. The start/finish area will be closed to traffic and some sections are traffic free or traffic controlled. Drinks stations will be approx. every 3 miles and at the finish. As approx 2 miles of the course is on firm trail the race holds a multi terrain permit.This race is always hot from start to finish so please plan your training and fluids accordingly. Likewise, anyone who runs around a pitch for 80/90 minutes and thinks “how hard can this be” - you’ll likely be the one 5 miles in chundering at the side of the road. There are plenty of free training plans available so choose one that fits your lifestyle and ability. Anyone who doesn’t already have a good fitness base should be looking at a plan of no less than 16 weeks. We want you all to “enjoy” the experience and return safely. We recommend you visit www.runnersmedicalresource.com before commencing your training. Please don’t run if you feel unwell. Be aware that there is a train level crossing approx 3.5 miles in to the race which will be monitored by Network Rail. If you do not cross by 10.20am you will be stopped to allow the train to pass. No arguments, the Newquay/Par sprinter will win every time.
