A 10 mile single lap of scenic Cotswold countryside through Stowell Park, the Coln Valley, and close to the famous Chedworth Roman Villa. It is a challenging multi-terrain race that uses a variety of undulating tracks, footpaths, fields, and features a river crossing. Having being voted one of the best trail races in Gloucestershire, 97% of entrants would do the race again (Runnersworld.co.uk).
Running Somewhere Else were out in force with lots of smiling faces before, during (particularly, the water), and after. It’s a well organised race by Cirencester Athletics Club and goes through some fantastic countryside. Many thanks to all the marshalls and supporters but especially the ones from RSE! Memorable moments include the rain before, the mud, the hills, the river and especially a member of RSE carrying on running without her shoe. In fact she did so well perhaps more of us should try it!

Felicity Crotty was there
I ran this with my cousin Jo who raised £65 for save the rhino as it was world rhino day today AND overall runners raised £60,000 for Chester zoo. We were worried it was going to be stormy but it was quite dry in the end and finished 10 seconds faster than last week’s race!
