The North Devon Biosphere Reserve is all around us and as well as providing us with
homes, work and community it is a most valuable resource for outdoor sports.
Celebrating B10, ten years of North Devon’s Biosphere Reserve, we have two high
profile sporting events in our calendar.
The first is the Devon Tarka Run Challenge which is taking place on Sunday 1
September 2013 on the Tarka Trail. This is a flat course along the Trail from
Bideford to Barnstaple which makes it extremely accessible for all abilities. As
well as celebrating B10, the Tarka Run Challenge is raising funds for the North
Devon Hospice. This is a social run (and not a race!) Entry fee £15 plus a
commitment to raise a further £20 in sponsorship for the North Devon Hospice.
Places are limited to 400 so get your entries in now. Visit the website at
www.tarka-run.co.uk for more information or contact Simon Paddon by email at
simon@coast-coast.co.uk
or telephone 07791 906433.
The second running event is in a different category altogether! The Bideford Bay
50K on Saturday 7 September 2013 is an ultra marathon! Local sporting event
organisers, Beacon Running, have put together this extreme run, up hill and down dale
along the North Devon Coast from Hartland to Bideford. Again this is not just a
race to prove your fitness, this challenging event is raising funds for the
Northern Devon Chemotherapy Appeal. Entry fee is £35 for solo runners with
discounts for teams … and there will be prizes! For more information contact Race
Director Adrian Colwill by email at beaconrunning@outlook.com
or by telephone 07527
