CITM 2021 CANCELLED
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news everyone, but, unfortunately it has been decided that the Cornish Imerys Trail Marathon 2021 will not take place.
It was hoped that by now we would have a far clearer view as to where we were with the pandemic, and the roll out of the vaccine, and be able to say that with certain precautions we could proceed, but it now seems obvious that we are still not going to be in a position where we can put on CITM 2021 in an environment in which we can be sure of the safety of all runners and organisers. The Government are taking a very cautionary line and have indicated that coming out of lockdown will be a slow and steady process. With no indication as to timescale for emerging from lockdown, or when we will all be able to attend a mass event such as CITM 2021, we have no option but to put CITM on hold for another year.
I will be in contact with all those runners who were deferred from last year. You can expect an email though SiEntries giving you your options.
In the meantime we are pleased to announce that we are planning a virtual event to keep you all motivated. We will post this on the website and Facebook page soon.
Please stay safe everyone and I hope to see you all next year.

THE ROUTES
FUEL STATIONS
There will be drinks stations roughly every 3 miles. All of these will provide water.
SPECTATOR INFORMATION
Places where the public are able to have access to see marathon runners are:-
About mile 6 – Hensbarrow – where the tall mast is near Roche, park in the small car park (limited parking) at the top of hill – if you
are coming from Stenalees, turn left just as you come into Roche and take the Whitemoor road, then almost immediately turn left
again and follow the winding road up to the top. Runners will be crossing here into Littlejohns Clayworks at roughly mile 6.
If you go to Lanjeth, at the top of Hornick Hill, park in the Blackpool trail car park – walk into the trail and you will be able to see
the marathon runners at about miles 11 and 12 – they will be running around the bottom of the tip inside the fence.
Allow a bit of time as you will need to walk in a fair way until you can see the path over the wire fence.
Park at Whitemoor, the school park maybe open and then head towards the entrance to Dorothy Pit where there is a water
station. There is a permissive path that you can access just inside the gate – you will see the runners between miles 15 and 16 here.
You will need to view from the permissive path as the public will not be allowed to stand in the area where the water station is.
You will have an excellent view from here though.
You can also see them by accessing the entrance to the permissive path that is opposite Allens Tyres in Whitemoor, the
marathon runners will be passing through here between mile 16 and 17.

SIGNAGE
We use a number of signs during our events. Arrow markers are on a yellow correx board with a black/red arrow to mark the direction to be taken.
We also use striped tape, these are placed after any split to reassure you that you are on the correct trail.
We also use them along long stretches where no turn off is required or directional arrows needed.
