A friendly running club based in Cirencester!

Lovely weekend for it!

Cotswold Water Park 10K   14/09/24

Held at Cleveland Lakes, Ashton Keynes, this local event offers runners the chance to run through both public and private areas of the Cleveland Lakes Nature Reserve, areas not normally open to the public. It’s a fundraising event in aid of the Cotswold Lakes Trust, a charity dedicated to the conservation and enhancement of the Cotswold Water Park for the benefit of wildlife and people.

  • Jo Beams   50:41    (1st LV50)

  • Samantha Ward   1:08:26

  • Sylvia Warman   1:13:43

“I’d done this one a couple of years ago and decided it would be a good first race after getting back to running again. It was a bit harder than I’d expected but it was a beautiful course and the cakes were excellent!” – Sylvia Warman

“Nice flat race around the nature reserve lake. It was a hot day. I was aiming for under 1 hour 10mins. My watch time was 1 hour 10mins 53 seconds.” – Mel Dodd

 

Coln Valley Trail Runs  14/09/24

Set along the beautiful Coln River valley between Coln St Aldwyns and Bibury, this event followed scenic riverside trails and was held in aid of Hatherop Primary School’s Big Build Project.  On offer were a 5 or 10km trail run, plus a fun sounding 2km steeplechase option for all ages – a cross-country route around grassy fields, featuring hay bale hurdles & 2 crossings of the “dip of doom”!  RSE were well represented though we’ve yet to have any feedback re what the dip of doom involved…

 

Angels 10K  15/09/24

Hosted by the Angels Running Club, the only affiliated all-female running club in Gloucester, this race forms part of the Gloucestershire AAA Road Race Series so sure to be popular with club and county runners alike.  Billed as an exciting and undulating on-road course, the route offers great view of the Cotswolds, the Malvern Hills and River Severn.  There was a great turnout from RSE, with some impressive category placings and some of our runners completing their first 10k race – well done all!

“I’d forgotten how undulating this course is, definitely not an easy route but some lovely scenery to make up for it! Great to have such a big RSE team out in force today” – Nia Glover

“Another AAA with another big hill, but much more enjoyable than last week! My fastest 10k for 3 years too and under the hour. Good to see all the team RSE out and great to see many of this years beginners taking it on! Nice medal and nice cake too.” – Felicity Crotty

“This was my first 10k for many years, after returning to running. I absolutely loved it, running up those hills! Such a great atmosphere, fabulous marshals and great support from everyone at RSE.” – Rachel Weaver
