2009
Category Winners - New
UK FV 65 ladies record, FV35 ladies course record broken - record field
The 27th
Keyworth Turkey Trot Half Marathon, organised by 1st Keyworth Scouts, attracted
a record field of 842 runners to Keyworth on the morning of Sunday 13th December.
This is over 50 more than last year's record field. The undulating race route
took runners from Keyworth to Wysall, Willoughby, Widmerpool and Stanton,
before returning to Keyworth.
Conditions were
quite good for the race, starting cold and dry, then becoming drizzly, then
bright.
The men's top spot
was taken by ALAN BUCKLEY from West Yorks, running for LEEDS CITY AC in 68.12.
The ladies top
spot was taken by SARAH HARRIS from Sandiacre running for LONG EATON RC. It
was a good day for the HARRIS family as husband ROD was 5th man, and ROD also
leader of the victorious LONG EATON RC mens team.
In full, the winning
LONG EATON RC mens team was ROD HARRIS, IAN CHANT and ANDY COLEGATE, aggregate
position = 40
The winning ladies
team was FORMULA ONE CIRCUIT CREW consisting of LOUISE COLLINS, HELEN TAILBY
and CATHERINE MILLET, aggregate position = 47
The 2nd lady was
NICOLA CLAY of Melton Mowbray, running for STILTON STRIDERS in 80.14. Nicola
who holds the overall ladies course record, overturned Ann Ford's 1995 FV35
record of 80.50.
The ladies FV55
winner VAL NAYLOR, from Langley Mill, running for SUTTON IN ASHFIELD HARRIERS
& AC finished in a superb time of 96.48. We are declaring this a new FV65
course record. We believe this to be a new UK FV65 record.
The Keyworth prizes
went to JIMMY MCMAHON in 83.02 who was running for TFN TRI CLUB and RUTH JONES
in 97.16 running for HOLME PIERREPONT RC

In its 28th year, the Keyworth Turkey
Trot, Half Marathon, is an established and popular part of the
December running calendar.
Set to take place on 12th December 2010
we hope again to attract over 1000 runners, from all across Britain and beyond
to Keyworth.
Keyworth is a village nestled in the countryside
of the South Nottinghamshire Wolds, eight miles to the south east of Nottingham.
The quality of the course itself, and its
organisation, means many runners return year after year.
As you would expect from an established race,
the route is well marked, and marshals are present to protect, guide and encourage
the runners.Radio cover around the route is provided by RAYNET enabling
spectators at the start/finish line to be continuously informed about the
progress of the runners, and providing reliable communication around the route.
As is our tradition, prizes of turkeys will
be awarded to the individual winners of the various categories. Bring your
cool box!!!!! This year, turkeys are kindly donated by Rutheford's Budgens of Keyworth.
As well as individual prizes, ladies and
men's team trophieswill be awarded.
All finishers will be presented with a commemorative
gift, to mark their success in completing the course.
£50 cash prizes are awarded for establishing
a new male or female overall course record.
Free parking is provided in three car parks
in the village. Even the most distant car park is within walking distance
to the start/finish point.
Facilities at the race include British Red
Cross first aid at the start/finish and roving first aid on the route, three
drinks stations on the route, toilets, hot showers, refreshments, secure changing
area & kit storage, trade stands including the sale of running shoes and
equipment, sale of race T-shirts bearing the names of our runners and pre
and post race massage.
At the finish, runners can enjoy a well earned
complementary hot soup, tea or coffee or a cold beverage.
We even cater for runners' supporters who
can relax indoors and enjoy a little entertainment, while they await the return
of the runners.
Unlike the Robin Hood Marathon and London
Marathon, Keyworth Turkey Trot is not an international event. It does however
attract a small number of overseas entries. These are usually from runners
who already happen to be visiting the UK at the time of the race. So if you
are in the UK for a holiday, on business, or to see a friend or relative when
the race is on, why not enter? We are sure you will enjoy the race. E-mail us to find out more.
The race is organised by
the 1st Keyworth Scout Group Parent's committee and all funds raised will
go towards supporting the activities of the 1st Keyworth Scout Group (Registered
Charity Number 1030336).The race is conducted under UK
Athletics rules. UK Athletics road race licence TBA . UK Athletics certificate
of accuracy TBA. Minimum age for entry is 17 years, on 12th December 2010.
There is a race limit of 1000 runners.The organisers reserve the right to
limit and refuse entries. There will be no day entries. Time limit 2 1/2 hours.
Minimum pace 12 minutes per mile.
The
course is a single circuit, all on road, starting and finishing in the village
of Keyworth passing through the undulating (up and down!) rural scenery and
villages of the South Nottinghamshire Wolds. The course is considered to be
both challenging and rewarding, and being a little hilly, is well suited to
being run in December. An independent write-up of the race can be found here.
The mens' course record, set in 2008 is 67
minutes and 39 seconds, and is held by Tim Hartley. The ladies' record, held
by Nicola Clay of Stilton Striders is 77 minutes and 58 seconds. A full record listing is available.
The race commences at 10.15 am from South
Wolds School. From there runners will head out east along Church Drive, then
turn south along Wolds Drive, passing
Rutherford's Budgens (who are kindly providing the Turkeys this year),
the various other shops of The Parade and Keyworth Tavern public
house on the left. At the end of gentle climb up Wolds Drive, runners will
turn west onto Selby Lane, passing the Village Hall, Centenary Lounge
and Parochial Hall on the right, and then The Plough public
house and Methodist Church on the left. Reaching Keyworth Village
Square, runners will be guided onto Bunny Lane, passing the Shops and
Village Amities of the Square on the left, and the Parish Church ofSt Mary Magdaleneon the right, noted
for its short spire. Once on Bunny Lane, runners will
run in a westerly direction, downhill, passing the boundary of the village
at around the 1 mile point in the race.
At the end of Bunny Lane, runners will turn
south onto Wysall Road heading towards the village of Wysall, passing the
2, 3 and 4 mile points before reaching the village itself. This, the most
challenging, (up and downhill, a number of times!!!!), section of the race,
starts when runners pass a signpost indicating a road to the west/right heading
to Bunny, a little after the 2 1/2 mile mark.
Having survived the hills, runners will reach
Wysall, and turn right onto Main Street, passing The Plough public
house on the left, and then turn left. Runners will now find they are heading
east, on Widmerpool Road and will shortly be able to take advantage of the
first drinks station. A little after the drinks station, the runners will
turn south east onto West Thorpe/Hades Lane passing the 5 and 6 mile points,
heading for Willoughby-on-the-Wolds.
At Willoughby runners turn left onto the
A6006, Back Lane, for an uphill run, passing the 7 mile mark. Runners then
turn left, onto Main Street, were they will find our second drink staion.
Runners will then pass the site of the former Three Horse Shoes public
house on the left, after the road has veered left, and finally turn right
on to Widmerpool Lane, heading north for Widmerpool.
Runners soon pass the
8 mile mark, and continue north to the 9 mile mark, by which point the road
has become Willoughby Road. Running downhill into Widmerpool, runners will
be relieved to find the third drinks station, and will be guided northwest
to Station Road, a notably flat section of the race.
Here runners will pass the 10 mile mark,
and subsequently turn left, in a north westerly direction onto Thurlby Lane
(uphill initially, and then again after a while, be warned!!!!). Runners
will pass the 11 mile point, were the course thankfully becomes flat, and
continue into the village of Stanton-on-the-Wolds, passing the 12 mile mark,
by which time the route is starting to go downhill.
The
road becomes Stanton Lane, and continues heading downhill, and then the road
becomes Nicker Hill. Runners will turn left, seeing the British Geological Survey
(BGS) on the right, having had a long downhill run, and then head along Wolds
Drive, which is uphill at the beginning, right onto Walton Drive, gently uphill
again and finally left onto Church Drive heading towards the FINISH LINE.
Keyworth
is located south east of Nottingham, and is off the A606 Nottingham to Melton
Mowbray road.
Keyworth is also located off the A60 Nottingham
to Loughborough Road.
The race starts and finishes at South
Wolds School, Church Drive, Keyworth, NG12 5FF. Use Multi Media Mapping to get directions to South Wolds School.
Parking is available on the day, free of
charge, in three car parks in and around the village. Follow the parking signs
when entering Keyworth. All car parks are within walking distance of the start/finish.
The most distant car park additionally has a free shuttle bus service to and
from the start/finish.
A bus service operates from Nottingham to
Keyworth. It is called the "Keyworth Connection". Barton Buses
operate the service and timetables
are available online. Alight at The Parade on Wolds Drive (referred
to as Wolds Drive Shops on the bus timetable). Head up Church Drive to South
Wolds School.
