Stroud Beer Race
Starting at The Old Lodge in Minchinhampton, this road race is described as ‘undulating’ on the race website, which many may say is a very generous description. The 7.2 mile course follows 3 laps around Minchinhampton common, including a very long down hill followed by a very long, and steep, uphill. Runners are treated to a half pint of beer at the finish.
