Forest of Dean Half Marathon is on the horizon – 26th September… so get it in your diary… get entering and get training! Details here
Also… SEPTEMBER 4TH – IF ANYONE WANTS A TOUGH FELL RACE…
THIS REST OF THIS PAGE NEEDS UPDATING FOR 2021
COVID has pretty much destroyed the plans for 2020 and 2021. However, to keep the structure of the page together (and also act as a reminder of our rich choice of local races), we’ve not deleted the following text… but remember, it is obselete!!
Fancy some competition – or just a friendly run? Throw on your club vest and represent the club in the GLCL or Gwent Leagues – both of which have some of the regions best runners up front (if you’re really up for a challenge) but equally have huge numbers of more ‘social’ runners back in the field. They really are great events.
Then, new for 2019, we have Spirits Parkrun – which you know can be competitive but you can walk it round just to earn some tea and cake if you like! Join us once a month when we head off to a nominated park run somewhere – club vests optional.
And of course, there are many local races to choose from. This page lists many of them for you – let us know if you think others should be added. Happy Running.
- GLCL road and cross County races – see here for more details
- Gwent League Cross Country races – also on weekend winter mornings.
- Spirits’ Parkrun – second Saturday of the month (unless otherwise stated.)
