Linda Frank’s 5 miles
This popular race sells out very quickly and runners need to be quick on the booking forms to gain a place. Although the race is not the most scenic, it’s very flat course and downhill finish make it perfect for PB seekers, and the race holds a place in the Gloucestershire AAA championship.
Congratulations to the club members who took on the challenge!

Great club turnout and a lovely flat course managed a 23 second 5 mile PB so very chuffed – Libby Butler
My first 5mile race. Actually enjoyed it even though it was an early start for Sunday morning. Even though it was laps which I don’t normally like the route was residential so lots of short sections so it didn’t really feel like laps. – Helen Cue
Boddington 10 mile
A brand new race for Gloucestershire, the Boddington 10 is a four-lap course, starting at the top of Boddington Lane before following 4 laps of Boddington. The race is flat and fast, following quiet roads, giving it the potential to be a firm fixture in runner’s diaries.
Well done to the RSE members who took part!

Really enjoyed this race, even though there were 4 loops and we seemed to be heading into the wind more often than not!
It was a fast, flat(ish) course along country lanes, good support from the marshalls and Ted.
Well done to everyone running. – Kirsty Pitts
This was a great race, great pace and a PB of over 2 mins. 😁 – Libby Butler
Stonehenge Stomp 40k
The Stonehenge Stomp 2024 event has challenges from 5k to 40k and is open to walkers, runners, families and dogs! The stunning views around Stonehenge make this the perfect day out for those looking to explore the area.
A huge well done to Cheri Edwards and Vicki Mason who took on the challenge, and completed the 40k course in a brilliant 5:30:00!
This event is now in its 36th year – and it’s easy to see why! There’s route options to choose from 5k up to 40k and it welcomes runners and walkers. The routes are marked by different coloured little flags (see photo) and these were easy to spot – no wrong turns for us today 😁 Although it was a very relaxed atmosphere (no set start times, no official timing etc) it was well organised and checkpoints were frequent, with friendly marshals. The route gave us a tantalising view of Stonehenge around mile 9, but we had another mile or so of undulations before we reached the closest viewpoint! It was mostly off-road, a mix of fields, bridleways and tracks. Instead of a medal we received a beautiful cloth badge (see photo). Thoroughly recommend this event, we both really enjoyed it – Cheri Edwards and Vicki Mason
