Just a reminder that we’ll be at Sainsbury’s, St Ann Street, Gloucester, for the final maprun for this year, and third in the current winter series. Meet in Sainsbury’s car park – the far corner straight ahead of you as you drive into the car park, at about 6:40 pm. Read more…
Parking is in the Tesco car park just off Church Road. It’s probably best to park towards the top end of the car park, which is nearer to the Start and Finish. The car park is for Tesco customers, so you should pop in and buy something. [bg_collapse view=”button-green” color=”#ffffff” Read more…
The Stroud West course takes in the westerly suburbs of Stroud – Cainscross, Paganhill, Cashes Green, and drops down into Ebley along the canal. It is still pretty hilly, though maybe not quite as steep as the central Stroud area. Parking is in the Co-op car park on Cashes Green Read more…

Get these dates into your diaries now.
We are working on a schedule for a winter evening series to run through the ‘dark’ months, November through March. The plan is to hold one, or possibly 2 runs each month, usually on Thursday evenings, and mainly around the Cheltenham and Gloucester area. Each event will be a 60 Read more…
