Tavistock Town Relays 2025

The Tavistock Town Relays 2025 will go ahead as usual in Tavistock Carnival Week – this year they will be held on the evening of Thursday 17th July . James Armstrong Physio will once again be our main sponsor, this year joined by Dartprint as a supporting sponsor. Entries are OPEN! – Details below.

Introduction

The annual Tavistock Town Relays is a fantastic 4 x 1.1-mile event that encourages teams from all over the South West to come together and enjoy some fun racing. We have something for everyone in this fabulous event which takes place in the glorious riverside setting of Tavistock Meadows and forms part of a series of events taking place during Carnival Week organised by the Tavistock Lions.

Teams come from athletic clubs, local businesses, local sports clubs and even just friends who want to get together as a team and race. We also stage a Fun Run over the 1.1 mile course for the younger children or those who prefer this to the main races. This costs £3 per runner, payable on the night.

Staged by Tavistock Athletic Club we are proud to announce that we continue to support local causes with part of the entry proceeds go directly to good causes nominated by the Tavistock Lions.

This year’s Tavy Town Relays are again sponsored by James Armstrong Physio, specialist running and endurance Physiotherapist and this year we’re really excited to be joined by Dartprint as a supporting sponsor.

Summing up

A big thank you again to all involved, without the support of many individuals and local business these events would not take place.

Just a polite reminder we are are all volunteers who have an interest in Athletics, Running and our Community. Your entry fee is not going to a big national company, after the event we will present a large cheque to the Tavistock Lions as we have done for many years and will continue to do so. The Lions will use these funds to support many local groups, the rest of the fee will pay for many costs involved in running and maintaining Tavistock Athletic Club.

Finally to all the athletes we hope you and your team enjoy the event.
