BECAUSE of foot and mouth the format of this year's Where's Tarka? foot race on Saturday will take a different tack.
Now the race will take competitors through the lanes of Iddesleigh. Last year — which was the first ever Where's Tarka? event — the route took in pasture, foot path and rivers which has had to be abandoned.
The foot race starts at 4pm and all finishers will receive a memento.
There are changing facilities in the village hall and a post-race hose on the green.
The village pub, the Duke of York is open all day for pre and post-race preparation.
Entries for the race are on the day only — before 3.30pm. Cost of entering is £5 and any surplus cash is split between local charities and Devon Air Ambulance.
