A Fun Day for All Runners
This Sunday, I will be marshalling at the Canal Canter, organised by Winding Paths. The event takes place at the bridge by the Swan's Neck/Tiverton Bridge car park. It's a fantastic opportunity for everyone, whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun day out.
With options for a 10k, Half-Marathon, and 20 miles, there is something for everyone. The route is fairly flat, making it ideal for those aiming for a personal best.

Event Details
The March event will kick off at Tiverton Canal Basin. The 10k runners will turn around at the Tiverton bridge car park. Those participating in the half marathon will continue on to Stampford Peverel, while the 20-mile runners will enjoy an extended route.
Why You Should Join
Participating in events like the Canal Canter is a great way to stay active and meet new people. Whether you are running for fun or aiming for a competitive time, this event is perfect for you.
I believe that running can be a wonderful way to relieve stress and improve your overall well-being. The fresh air and camaraderie of fellow runners can uplift your spirits.
Preparing for the Event
If you're planning to join, make sure to prepare adequately. Here are some tips:
Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the event.
Dress Comfortably: Wear appropriate running gear that allows for movement.
Warm-Up: Take time to stretch and warm up before the race to prevent injuries.
Pace Yourself: Start at a comfortable pace and listen to your body throughout the run.
After the Race
Once you finish, take some time to cool down. Stretching can help prevent soreness. Celebrate your achievement, whether you hit a personal best or simply enjoyed the experience.
