A great one a few of you have done and some even have the T-shirt!

I cant imagine that they will run out of EOD on the day but pre-entry will save you some pennies. I should remember to bring some fliers to the SO extravaganza this weekend :-)

* Press Release *
10th Eridge 10 set to break record
Following the success of the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon in February,
organisers TW Harriers are hosting the 10th Anniversary of the Eridge Park 10. A
challenging 10 mile cross country race held in Eridge Park which is this year
being sponsored by Cotswold Outdoors in Tunbridge Wells.
Entries are flooding in for the race which will be held on Sunday 14th
September and race director Allan Cheek, expects the 10th anniversary to be the
biggest and best in the history of the race.

Organised by Tunbridge Wells Harriers, the race presents a privileged and
unique opportunity to run on a traffic-free course over stunning private land
through the historic deer park and ancient woodland.

Entry costs only £10 (£8 for club runners) and represents fantastic value as
the organisers provide free refreshments including a beer tent after the
race and a t-shirt included in the entry fee.

The race is approximately 10 miles of challenging cross country and is fast
becoming one of the most popular offroad events in the area.

It takes place at 10.30am on Sunday 14th September at Sham Farm in Eridge,
just 4 miles south of Tunbridge Wells.

Organiser Allan Cheek said ‘This race is getting better and better every
year and is one of the friendliest in the south east. With stunning views, a
challenging route, plenty of parking, a popular beer tent, and free t-shirt,
it is fast becoming one of the best cross country events on the circuit. If
you liked the Half Marathon, you will love this. We are also delighted this
year to have the sponsorship of Cotswold Outdoors, the outdoor clothing, camping and
climbing shop in the Town, who will also be present at the event with a stall
and staff to chat to.’

I can confirm that the T-Shirts are excellent. Also a very tempting opportunity to see what Eridge is like when not covered with either snow or calf-high mud.

Definitely without the snow - although whatever the weather, there will always be a couple of wet patches on the course, not least the bit a mile from the end by the caves/stream which always seems to be churned up from cattle and wet (spring?). The caves were dug out by hand I believe and used as the ice store for the house before fridges, etc. You can go in one side and out the other - so far the idea of having lights put in there and the course run though it hasnt yet happened...!
T-shirts change colour every year so I can’t promise this years to be so colour friendly (2007 = dark grey) and this year will certainly be a 10th different colour. But you’ll have to be there to see what colour it is…
