Blaisdon 10Km

Splendid event (formally called Blaisdon Bluebell) now organised by the Forest of Dean AC after Terry Haines retired. Mainly flat with a gentle incline to the finish – which also happens to be the Pub.

James Head set the early pace...

Gloucestershire 5 km Championships

Taking place on a fairly testing Haresfield course where the runners were made to work hard over the latter half. Without question, a county Gold for the women’s team is a remarkable achievement given the other celebrated clubs in Gloucestershire… Well Done!

The Bourton Mile

Incorporating the Gloucestershire 1 mile championships, Tewkesbury fielded a sprinkle of runners to add sparkle to the Saturday evening race.

The most impressive run was from Annabel Roberts who finished as 2nd woman – behind a Telford AC runner so it’s fair to say Annabel is the Gloucestershire Mile champion 2018! Rob Bower finished first for the club while James Head watched as both Rob and Annabel ran away from him. Vicky Earls celebrated a new PB for the distance – she even ran a Parkrun earlier in the day!
