Event Summary 2013
This is the first PSUK event of the year that has hopefully kick-started you into taking part in the many other police fixtures during 2013. Please read on and prepare to whet your appetite!!………
This is a flat tarmac course around Canon Hill Park, Edgbaston comprising 5K for ladies and 10k for men. More runners are taking to this ‘alternative’ athletic sport as a supplement to their annual sporting calendar. An interesting and tasty buffet meal at the nearby ‘Tally Ho Club’ follows the race with presentation of prizes for individual and teams.
Are you fit enough to be the ‘UK’s Toughest Cop’? This is a relatively new official PSUK event that involves individuals competing in a series of disciplines. Each UK Police Force may enter at least one male and one female competitor and anyone eligible to compete in PSUK events may take part. The events include - Sprinting - Indoor Rowing - Archery - Shooting – Ball Throw - Bleep Test - Gym Tests - Orienteering - Climbing Wall. Staged over two days, the competition culminates with a gala dinner, prize presentation and cabaret evening in conjunction with the annual PSUK Indoor Sports events.
This year the event will take place near Penrith Cumbria. The 10 mile course will offer some excellent running terrain over these interesting, lesser known hills. All competitors need to have mountain navigation experience and carry certain kit during the race. A post race meal will take place after the event.
There must be an event here to suit every athlete. The competition take place from 11am through to 5pm with presentation of medals throughout the day. The following track and field events will be contested: Track - Men and Women - 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 5000 metres (Including male and female Veterans) Relay – Ladies 4 x 100 metres - Men’s Medley (800x200x200x400) Track - Men Only - 110m hurdles, 400m hurdles, 3000m steeplechase, 3000m walk Held on the same day as the Track & Field, teams of nine will battle it out in a series of different weight competitions held throughout the day. The PSUK are looking to encourage more force teams to take part. Athletes are asked to contact members of their respective force rugby teams to attract interest.
This event requires four members running together as a team, each member providing encouragement to one another over this gruelling 22 mile course that traverses around 8000 feet ascent over seven of the highest Snowdonia Mountains. This is not an official PSUK event but has always been popular among police runners.
This event is incorporated within at an event organised by the Warwickshire and Coventry Orienteering Club, Octavian Droobers (OD). Sutton Park has a good path network and provides fast running underfoot. There are some intricate areas of gorse and some slow run areas where careful navigation is required. There are courses for male, female, veteran and novice runners. These range from circa 5k to 8k in distance. So if you fancy some 'cunning running' in some very picturesque Midlands countryside then get yourself entered!
This event is always popular with PSUK runners. The course takes place on a coastal route in Dyfed-Powys so this is a race not to be missed.
This is the first time the PSUK have held their marathon in the historic city of Chester. We had 101 competitors in Jersey in 2012 with some tremendous marathon times being set. So we hope to attract an even better field of police athletes in 2013. Chester is proven to be a great course, centrally located in the UK so it would make an ideal Autumn weekend getaway! So, what are you waiting for? Further detailed information and entry forms for all of the above events can be found on the official Police Sport UK Athletics Website at:
