The Evesham 30K is the second round of the FISS Road Race Series, held at the Evesham VeloPark at Evesham football club.
This is the second time an endurance event has been held by the sport at this venue, which has a smooth surface, offers a unique and exciting layout, and the poppies in bloom at this time of year offer a beautiful backdrop to proceedings.
Open to all skaters, including non-FISS Members and recreational/quad skaters, the event consists of two supporting races, a 100m sprint and a one lap time trial of the circuit, followed by the main event, the Evesham 30K/ half marathon/ 10K (or alternative distance for younger skaters). Skaters are split into age categories and encouraged but not expected to participate in all three races, and are welcome to only skate in the longer race if they wish to do so.
All age groups will have the opportunity to skate the 100m sprint and one lap time trial. The FISS age categories and their associated distances for the endurance race, are as follows:
Race times will be determined by an electronic chip timing system. A digital certificate featuring the finish time for the endurance race will be issued to all participants via email. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to skaters who finish first, second and third in each age category for the 100m sprint, the one lap time trial and the endurance race as separate standalone races. All other skaters will receive a finishers medal for the endurance race.
Please note that there will be a processing time for the certificates and they will be issued after the event.
Helmets are a mandatory requirement for all FISS affiliated events
There will be a time limit of approximately 2 hours for the 30K endurance race. Skaters aged 15 years and over who may feel that they would be unable to complete the full distance in this time are welcome to enter a half marathon distance (21k) or a 10k distance instead. Please note that gold, silver and bronze will not be handed out for these distances, however a participation medal and certificate will still be provided.
This is the second opportunity to earn points towards road series winner (endurance races) and the 100m series winner. Points will be awarded to those who participate in the 100m. Separate points are allocated to those who finish the full endurance races (mini 3k, pupil 5k, cadet 10k, youth/juniors/adults 30k) which can be accumulated across the road races. Road races can either be entered as a standalone event or to gain points across the series. For more information on Road Race points and how these are calculated, please click here.
Minis, pupils and cadets will complete their races together on the full circuit. Youth, Junior (17 – 18 years) and all adults will complete their events together after the Children’s presentations.
