Tour Description
The Tour de Salisbury is a running tour of 12 different running routes with 12 different distances that we have created for you and your friends to run (or walk) throughout June and July!
This is a chance for you and your friends to run, compete and explore during the summer.
So how does this work? All Tour de Salisbury legs will be connected to a Strava segment and links to the legs will be posted here under the section "Tour Legs". To participate in the event you do not need Strava, however to compete for a podium spot (top 3) for a leg or for the entire event you WILL need to use Strava. We will be checking and verifying Strava for the top five men and women for each leg throughout the event. Those not competing for a podium spot can use a different GPS enabled running app. Once a leg has been run, runners will enter the time it took you to run the leg and a screenshot of the run on the website www.Brokerunner.com. The screenshot will have to include the GPS map, running time, actual time and the date. Runners are free to rerun a route for a better time within the two month period. So you run the actual routes on your own (or with a friend) and you compete with others participating. LEGS MUST BE ENTERED Within 24 hours of their completion for competitive reason. Runs should not be held for days, weeks or months in someone’s Strava back pocket. Runs can be completed on any day at any time within June or July. Legs can also be run in any order that a runner desires and as many time as a runner desires. Awards will be given to the top three men and women based on the overall time of the combined 12 legs of the event. Individual leg winners will also be recognized.
All participants will receive an event shirt and, if the runner completes the tour, a finishers’ award.
Registration will begin on December 8th at 7pm. We will share the locations of the missing legs as we get closer to the event. The event starts at 12:00am on Thursday June 1st 2023 and ends at 11:59pm on Monday July 31st 2023. All runs must be entered by July 31st at 11:59pm.
