Bys Vyken Events run by David Andrewartha is renowned for its imaginative, interesting, challenging and somewhat quirky running events in Cornwall. From the Cousin Jack to the St Eval Kart Circuit Marathon to the Smugglers Scuttler to the Fordh Sen Mighal and the United Downs Raceway Dave's events take in a huge variety of terrain and venues.
And each of them come with his almost legendary course and briefing notes and on the day safety briefings.
What might not be so well known is that to date Dave and his team have raised £11500 for local charities from the events they have run. An amazing amount. So if you are looking for some unique running events check out the Bys Vyken Events website.
In the podcast Dave shares how Bys Vyken began, we talk about the events offered for 2022 and the Cornwall Running Show which is taking place at Heartlands on Sunday April 17th. The expo will feature a number of stands and is open from 10.30am to 3pm - you don't need a ticket for the Expo just turn up.
In the episode Dave also mentions some of his favourite events including : Shepton Mallett Prison Marathon (last one in 2022) and the Southend Pier Marathon
