Martin Jennings Memorial Run, Truro - 11 Sept 2011

Post by graham22 »

Weather dependent so looking like it might be postponed (annoyingly as could have done a trial on Sunday :( )

Run has been postponed for 2 weeks until 25 September

Police would not let organisers run on 18th due to half marathon in Truro at the same time. Problem now is that this clashes with the MAG protest.

And skip making the £3.00 charity donation at the start - tight arse!!

The route is always kept secret to stop people racing ahead. The only guaranteed bit is meeting at Truro for 9am, then Beacon at 3pm (I think) having travelled down the Camborne/Redruth by-pass.

I will do the start of the run, may junction mark early on then leave.I'll watch on the by-pass and rejoin & follow from Beacon, will ride through the finish, park my bike at home & walk back to the finish for a few pints and a burger.

announcement from Dave Saunby on first and last forum today

Having spoken to members of the Moorlanders MCC who are organising the eastern end of the Cornwall MAG Demo, I am pleased to announce that with agreement, MAG members will lead the Jennings Run at 40 mph from the lunch stop down A30 to Bodmin, where they will then double back to Sourton Cross on on their original route, while the Jennings Run will continue on to Beacon at normal road speed as in previous years.

I sincerely hope that this please's everyone.
