Turkey Trot 4 Mile | Redruth | Cornish Grand Prix Race 9 | My 50th Birthday Run! 🎉
Join me as I take on the iconic Turkey Trot 4 Mile in Redruth, organised by Cornwall Athletic Club. This popular race is Round 9 of the 15-race Cornish Grand Prix Series and is renowned for its deceptively challenging course.
This year’s race was even more memorable as it took place on 15th July – my 50th birthday! There was no better way to celebrate than standing on another start line, surrounded by the fantastic Cornish running community.
The course begins with a fast, relatively flat opening mile before tackling the race’s toughest challenge—a long, testing climb that really makes you work. From there, it’s a mix of undulating roads, welcome downhill sections and a fast run back to the finish at Tricky’s Hotel. Add in one of the hottest, sunniest evenings of the summer, and it became a real test of pacing, determination and endurance.
Come along for the full race experience, including the pre-race atmosphere, course highlights, stunning Cornish scenery, race action and my thoughts throughout this special birthday run.
A huge thank you to Cornwall Athletic Club, the marshals, volunteers and spectators for making another fantastic event possible.
