It's that time again! TAC is delighted to announce that entries for the 2026 Tavy 7 are now OPEN. Click on the link below for full details and to register through Entry Central. This year we are re-introducing the junior's fun run which will open for entries later.

Our event will once again incorporate the Ross Shield, competed for by all eligible Devon clubs. We are again expecting entries from a wide range of clubs throughout the Southwest, but the race is accessible to all standards of runners, whether club-based or individual.

An optional tech T-shirt can be purchased at the time of entry, the event will be chip-timed and there will be medals for all finishers.

Just a reminder regarding our race on Saturday: As it’s Tavistock’s carnival week, we’d welcome runners in fancy dress - there may even be a few prizes!! And if any under-11s want to dress up, we’ll set up a fun run round the track, just for them.
