It has been a spooktacular week for RSE runners, with Halloween fun and great racing adventures…
30th Oct, Halloween club run
The Halloween club run saw RSE members in some fantastic costumes taking to the streets of Cirencester. Congratulations to Elaine for the winning costume, and Tim for the epic decorations!
2nd Nov, Glos Cross Country league, Cirencester
Cirencester Park hosted the 2nd of the Cross Country League races. A big shout out to Dave who worked hard to plan the course, organise marshals and make sure everything went smoothly on the day. RSE club members marshalled the course and were brilliant.
- Jennifer Glass 28.02 – 2nd LV55
- Paul Beaumont 29:15
- Ellie Witnall 32:04
Paul Beaumont: I think this was the most I’ve enjoyed a run whilst actually doing it! Good course and great support from RSE marshals
Ellie Witnall: As XC races go, the course wasn’t too difficult – for my race it was 2 large laps and a small lap, all consisting of a long slow rise followed by a nice long downhill. The atmosphere was great and when I started flagging on the last lap, another runner encouraged me to keep going.

Felicity Crotty: Great turn out from RSE, good support and lots of cake at the end. Really good weather conditions for a race too. Over 5 min faster than last year and 9 minutes faster than the year before which was the same course. Fastest 5 miler for 6 years but still off my PB by 3 seconds!!
Sarah Page: Great conditions, lovely to see so many of us running for team RSE and some fantastic results. Hoped to run 8.30 min mile pace and did 8.27 so happy with that. Thanks to our supporters today too
Sylvia Warman: It was good to be back on the regular course (last year used the alternative course due to flooding). Great to have so many others from the club running I never lost sight of a yellow vest. Fantastic support from RSE peeps cheering us on.
