The 3six12 is back for it's second edition in 2025. Hosted in the fantastic Newnham park, Plymouth on the weekend of the 25th-28th July. 

By popular demand the event has doubled in length this time from 12 hour to 24 hour, alongside the other 3,6 and 12 hour categories the 24 hour will be a welcomed addition. We are also running a brand new catgegory called the "Split 6", this allows you to race 3 hours Saturday and 3 hours Sunday with your overall time counting towards your result. Sounds easy doesn't it? We expect both the 24 and split 6 to be very popular so don't hang around to get your entry in.
