Following the unfortunate loss of the hugely missed 5 Tors and building upon the success of the ever popular Cornish Marathon, the team at ECH have developed a totally new multi-terrain event. We are calling the event the Trepolpen Seythin 10k in recognition of the mix of village (Tre), coast (Pol) and hills (Pen) included in the event which is based at the Seaton Countryside Park. The name of the village in Cornish is ‘Seythin’. This will be a challenging route with a mix of unmade paths, woodland, road (with a particularly tough ascent), lanes and a sting in the tail along the beach from Downderry. It's only £14 for non-affiliated and £12 for affiliated. I have personally run the course, it is very tough, but very scenic - it will feel a lot longer than 10k (and take a lot longer). It is totally worth a weekend down here. Come on Fetchies you KNOW you want to. eastcornwallharriers.com
