Directions to the Start

 

From the A30 (heading South)

On entering Cornwall, pass signs to Launceston and carry on towards Bodmin, passing Jamaica Inn, Temple and Cardinham. Proceed along the Bodmin Bypass, and at the end, turn left at the Innis Downs roundabout. This is the A391, signposted to Bugle and St Austell. Proceed through Bugle, Stenalees (A391 joins the B3274) and Carthew to St Austell. Due to the Eden Project, expect heavy traffic around St Austell.

*From St Austell proceed along the A390, which will be signposted to Truro for about 1 mile. At the bottom of a long downhill section (St Mewan School on the right), take a left turn to Polgooth and Sticker. The race headquarters will be clearly signposted from this junction. Proceed for about 1 mile to Sticker and turn right in the middle of the village, by the Hewas Inn. Follow this road for about a half mile, and you will be directed to the race car park on your right.

 

From the A38 (Plymouth, heading South)

After crossing the Tamar Bridge, pass Saltash, Trerulefoot and Liskeard, and turn left at Dobwalls, onto the A390. Proceed past Lostwithiel, St Blazey and you arrive at St Austell. Carry straight on in the direction of Truro and follow the directions above.*

 

From the A30 (heading North)
At Chiverton Cross roundabout (after Hayle, Camborne and Redruth) turn right to Truro on the A390, and proceed past Threemilestone and Truro, following signs to St Austell. Proceed along the Probus Bypass, through Grampound (still A390) and as you reach the Sticker Bypass, turn right at Hewas Water, to Sticker. The race headquarters will be clearly signposted from this junction. Follow this road for about 1 mile to the village of Sticker and turn left at the Hewas Inn. Follow this road for about a half mile, and you will be directed to the race car park on your right.
