Devon V Cornwall Run
After a successful first year in which Devon won the border, the Sweatshop Devon V Cornwall Run Series returns for 2012/13. Choose your allegiance and battle it out with your brethren to find the champion county and claim victory over the border. Please read the full description of the event below, even if you ran in 2011/12 events and enter above or by downloading the entry form.
Round One went well, there’s a quick write up and results here!

Round Two is a longer but more gentile 10 mile run along the Rame peninsula to Cawsand and back. It’s a fantastic coastal run route with plenty of support along the way. Last year saw our fastest runner clinch this in just over an hour.
All runs are fully supported. There’s also a prize for the fastest runner down the monstrous grass slope at the start.
The race will be run under UKA rules and there will be a Run England race referee on duty during the race.

Event Details… (no confirmation emails are sent so please use this information)
Venue
The race will be held in front of Mount Edgcumbe Country House, Cremyll, Torpoint, Cornwall, PL10 1HZ. The HQ for the event is located in stables cafe adjacent to the house (up the top of the hill).
Getting there
From Plymouth – follow the signs to Torpoint and hop on the Torpoint ferry. From Torpoint follow the A374 towards Liskeard and at Antony follow the brown tourist signs on the left to Mt. Edgcumbe. Alternatively, head for the Cremyll ferry and take a leisurely pootle over – this is by far the best way of getting to the race.
From Cornwall – on A39, after Liskeard heading for Plymouth, follow A374 for Torpoint from the Trerulefoot roundabout. Again, at Antony, follow brown signs on the right to Mt. Edgcumbe.
Once at Mt. Edgcumbe, follow the signage to registration which is in the stable cafe adjacent to the main house.

Changing
There will be no changing facilities on site, but secure baggage storage will be available at the registration.
