23rd September 2012 at 11:00 a.m.

A fun weekend with the Yeovil Running Club at Stourhead!!

Sunday 23rd September sees the 2012 KING ALFRED’S TORMENT – seven Irish miles of mud and hills! If you’ve not had a go at this race, you’ve not lived – the hills seem to get bigger each year, but the views around the Stourhead Estate and King Alfred’s Tower quickly take your mind off them!

If you want a free work out, join us laying out the course on Saturday 22nd September – we meet at the National Trust car park at 9.30am, drive round to the tower and then work our way backwards round the course laying out the flags as we go, with lunch at the National Trust tea rooms part way around – a pleasant day’s exercise in good company.

Many hands make light work and it would be good to see you!

Sunday 23rd then sees the race itself – which starts outside the Spread Eagle Inn, Stourton at 11.00 a.m. (Race HQ and race parking in the National Trust overflow car park). The course is a tough one but the sense of achievement is complemented by the "burnt cake" you receive at the finish!

If you aren’t up for therace but can help with marshaling on the day or for race details contact Phil MacQuaid on 07866 357808 or see him at club nights for further details.

All finishers receive a burnt cake!
