VIRTUAL RACE SERIES
After the Corvid – 19 virus hit the world in 2020, it had an enormous impact on the daily lives of everyone. Outdoor space, travelling, holidays and the working lives of the ordinary person all became effected. Over night, all of our trail running races and outdoor events got postponed and that gave birth to this – Dave Talbot Adventure Events – Virtual Race Series.
Our first race was a virtual version of the Malvern Hills Trail Half Marathon and now it’s evolved into the Twister Virtual Race Series. Join us.
These events are free to join. If you want a medal, there’s an option to buy one on the registration form – we’ll get that posted out to you around race day.
WE’RE BACK – LET’S TWIST AGAIN
The nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. The weather is getting cooler and therefore it seems that we might need some autumn / winter motivation. Some much needed camaraderie, some good olde fashioned fitness, maintain the body, maintain the mind.
Virtual Race Series 3 – Twist-Mas Special Half Marathon – 12th December – feel free to start when you like on this day. You must run a half marathon and record it using Strava or similar App, whilst keeping to Government guidelines on Covid – 19. It’s free to enter this race.
