Club champs races 2019:
Jan – Sunday 13 Off-road
Riverbank Rollick (Thornbury)
This is a 9 mile (14km) race which is 80% off road, with 430ft (130m) of ascent and is on a mixture of trails, bridle paths, across fields and through woodland. It’s a great, fun event from our local, friendly running friends at Thornbury Running Club. Lots of mud and a stream wade to add interest. Very well organised with good cakes afterwards. Entries open in November and they have kindly said they’ll reserve 30 places for us as it sells out. I’ll let you know as soon as entries open.

Run by Cadence Events (the same organisers that put on the Good Friday 10 mile road race we had in the champs in 2018)
August – Sat 17 Aug Off-road
Race the Train – Tywyn.
Great 14 mile off-road race with chance for the speedsters to try and beat the train – but loads of fun for all runners. A great race to make a weekend trip out of with your Harrier running mates. They have shorter races for those that don’t fancy the 14 miler (although you won’t score champs points for these) and the 3k would be suitable for kids if you want to make it a family affair.
Sept – Sun 01 Sept Road
