TORQUAY
TURN POINT
TORBAY HALF MARATHON PAIGNTON TO TORQUAY 1st LAP
 
HEADPHONE & MP3 PLAYERS.
The reason that we set restrictions on the use of mp3 players etc., is due to our concerns for safety on this 2 lap course.

Runners will be using both directions on half of the road width, which is narrow in several places.
Leading runners are lead by cyclists, who will be warning runners as they approach them from behind that they need to move over to allow overtaking and also allow enough space for runners to also pass them going in the opposite direction.
It is vital in these circumstances that marshals instructions can be clearly heard.
   
At this point the route out towards Torquay is slightly different to the route back to Paignton. (both laps)

To Torquay...
Runners turn left under the bridge and head up Seaway Lane to the traffic lights and turn right into Torquay Road.

Runners heading back to Paignton from Torquay turn left  before the traffic lights into Orient Road.

The start is between Paignton Pier and the Flagship. Runners complete two laps of the green before heading out towards Torquay. From leaving Paignton green the route to Torquay will be just over 2.5 miles.

The turn point in Torquay is opposite the Torbay Hotel by Torquay Harbour.

This map shows the route to Torquay only.
The route back to Paignton is slightly different.
