You can now register on-line as a new Trunce competitor. Click on the “Register” option in the site menu bar and complete the required details. You will then be sent a confirmation link which will then complete the registration process and allocate you a race number.
Make a note of your new race number and use it for every race that you take part in.
Please note, once you have registered online, you will need to check in and pay your race fee at each race so that we know you are running.
You can enter on-line for the race on 16th August here.
Next Trunce is 26th July. On-line pre-entries only. You can enter here. Entries will close at midnight on Friday 23rd July.
At the last race, I had to deal with a complaint from one of the residents who lives in the houses backing on to the field. She was understandably very upset at having to watch our competitors using the bushes at the bottom of her garden as a toilet.
Please do not do this. We pay for the toilets at the pub to be open for your use. If you must use the outdoors, please use the far end of the field.
Anyone caught using the area remotely near the houses will be disqualified, not to mention potentially being charged and prosecuted for indecent exposure.
Hi, from this year onwards if you change age category from Junior to Senior, then please request a new number when you register. We need to do this to ensure that your PB is calculated correctly, and also to make sure there are no mix-ups at the finish as Junior numbers are red and senior numbers are black.
We have been contacted by the farmer who owns the fields where the race starts and finishes politely requesting that we avoid trampling the grass either side of the track. Please make every effort to comply with this request, as it is in everyone’s interest that we have a good relationship with the landowners.
Additionally, please don’t use the gate half way down the field to access the start – please walk round via the car park.
Looking at the turn-out statistics for the races this season, we have 21 competitors who have run all 9 races. 459 seem to have found it all too much.
First race next year is on Monday 4th April.

In total we had 1040 competitors throughout the season.
The most prolific competitors (since we started logging results electronically) are:
