Ashby20

It's that time again when the races begin for both running and biking. This weekend see's the first of the running events in preparation for the London Marathon in April. Both the Micks have entered this 20 miler. After last weeks gruelling training run it will be a miracle if they both finish.

Info About the Race

The Ashby 20 is a 2 lap, 20 mile road race on an undulating course. The race is as popular as ever with over 700 entrants last year. All finishers will receive the fabulous Ashby 20 goody bag complete with sweatshirt. In addition, there is a total of £1200 in cash prizes for individuals and teams. The race limit is 800, so early registration is recommended; it is also lower cost!

Course Info

The old course established a reputation as a thoroughly testing route and was used by many to gauge their fitness level in the London Marathon build-up. Rural and undulating will be how most of you will no doubt remember it, with fond (or not so fond!) memories of Pistern Hill at 17 miles. Following the opening of the Ashby bypass, a new route had to be found. We hope and believe that the new course captures much of the spirit of the previous one and also adds something extra; there are still several inclines to test your stamina! However quickly or slowly you complete the course this year, we hope you enjoy the event and will continue to return in years to come. (Ashby20 website)
