Linda Franks 5 Mile
Runners need to be incredibly quick if they want to enter the Linda Franks 5 Mile race, as it’s always guaranteed to be a sell out – not for the scenery, but for the very flat course with plenty of downhill, including the downward sprint to the end. Thankfully there were plenty of speedy RSE runners who were quick to enter, securing their place in the 1st club championship race of the year! Team RSE were brilliant, many achieving PBs and age category rankings.

I enjoyed the course today as lots of turns and short sections made it more interesting, as well as being there with all the other fabulous club runners!
Steve Sandercock
I really enjoyed the race. It was lovely running past people standing on the end of their drive ways cheering you on, words of encouragement written in chalk on the roads and really friendly marshalls. Great to be with everyone from RSE too.

Chalford Cold Turkey 10k Race
Held from Chalford Hill Primary School, the Cold Turkey race is tipped as muddy and very hilly! There were options for 5k and 10k races on the day, with the majority of runners opting for a 5k.
A huge congratulations to Andrew Kewley for running in RSE colours for the first time! Andrew finished the 10k course in a brilliant (unofficial) time of 78 minutes!
Well done also to Jon Collins, who finished the course in a fantastic time of 55:48! It’s Jon’s first race back with Running Somewhere Else – welcome back!
[The] course was up & down to say the least – half off road too – cold & dry! Just needed to break my duck to give me a bit of confidence.
Andrew Kewley
Well done, Andrew and Jon!

RSE 2021 Championship Awards!
Don’t forget that it’s RSE’s 2021 Championship prize giving this Wednesday (26th January) in the Somewhere Else pub garden! The prize giving starts at 6:30pm – it would be lovely to see as many RSE runners as possible to congratulate our winners.
Congratulations to Darren Jenner who won the Men’s Masters Trophy – as Darren cannot make the awards night this Wednesday, he received his prize before the Linda Franks 5 Mile race!
