The Route for 2013

The route has had its first draft and what a magnificent trail it will be!! Over 110K of steep cliffs, grassy headlands, sandy beaches, secluded harbours and plenty of hills.

If you want the details, then click on "the route" above and have a look. Every road, path and trail is there for you to see. This will either make you want to join the team or fill you with fear!!

Each day will be around the 28K mark (two thirds of a marathon) and Day 2 is already looking like a monster. The Coast Path walking guide has parts of it rated as "severe" - so, be ready!!

Four Days "Rowing"!!

Cornwall is only six months away and we have added a new member of the team. Robin Morris is joining us in his sea going rowing boat!! Robin has rowed across the English Channel and will be keeping pace with the runners as we run the Cornish Coast Path. Every step we take, we should see the little rowing boat bobbing along offshore!!

The team is taking shape; runners, rower and support driver...all we need now are sponsors. Your first move could be to join the facebook page (click the banner on the right). Keep up with our daily news, results, action and fundraising totals. CASPA needs you, and so do we!!

Petts Wood 10K

Once a year in the leafy suburb of Petts Wood, a 10K is run - and this is no ordinary 10K!! It is the Runners World readers top autumn 10K and is a very special event. For a start, the course is challenging!! None of this "four laps round the field" nonsense, no, Petts Wood has roads, trails, mud, tracks and hills and gives even the best runners something to think about.

This year was a beautiful day, sunny, cold and perfect for running. There were PBs everywhere (Petts Wood PBs anyway) and cups of tea at the finish, a gorilla giving out bananas and a medal worthy of the Olympics!! A great day out, and always marks the start of training for "fourdaysrunning". Cornwall here we come and thank you to all at the Petts Wood 10K for another award winning event.

Introducing Rayle Farm

The accommodation for next year's run in Cornwall has been booked and the deposit paid so it's final...we're off to Rayle Farm. This beautiful courtyard of converted barns has six separate accommodations that form one community, ideal for the fourdaysrunning team.

Rayle Farm is in the hamlet of Bridge, which is a mile or two from the thriving seaside village of Portreath. There is a pub down the road serving a good selection of sports drinks (ale) and the infamous cider known as "Rattler". The run starts from Rayle Farm and so it is ideally situated. Keep in touch with us, join up on Facebook and support CASPA in any way you can. Of course, if you fancy a run...
