A friendly running club based in Cirencester!

RSE Club Report – How hard can it be?

Silkin Way Ultra

Organised by How Hard Can It Be Events, the Silkin Way Ultra takes runners from the south side of Telford by the River Severn, to the northern side in Brockton. Once refuelled in Brockton, runners travel back through Telford, before turning west towards Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge. The route includes running over the world’s first iron bridge erected in 1779.

A huge well done to Nadine Brown who, not content with the comparatively short Fission 20-miler the week before, completed the 29.5 miles route in 5:02:56!

Found it challenging after last week’s race but the route was varied and the gorgeous weather made it an enjoyable day out!

Nadine Brown

Incredible running, Nadine!

Weston Super Mare Half Marathon

Starting at the iconic Weston Super Mare Grand Pier, this half marathon takes runners through the surrounding picturesque Somerset villages. The race is tipped as fast, and allows runners to finish half a mile out to sea!

Running a new personal best was RSE’s Katy Miller, who finished in a brilliant time of 1:56!

It was a wonderful day and amazing weather. Sections along the beach on hard pack sand and a couple of small climbs but nothing too much – Finish along the grand pier. All in all a lovely day out the seaside!

Well done, Katy!

Calne Clock Change Challenge

Waking up an extra hour earlier is never easy, so what better way to start the day than getting up and running a fast 5k race! The Calne Clock Change Challenge is popular race amongst RSE members, with options for a 10k, 5k or 1.5k fun run. Each option is fast and flat, taking runners on an out and back along Calne’s country lanes and finishing at the leisure centre.

A huge well done to Team Pitts who took on the 5k challenge!

  • Kirsty Pitts – 25:51
  • Martin “Ted” Pitts – 26:17

Well done to both of you! And we are loving the spring medals! 🌼🌞
