RACE NO LONGER PROMOTED

 

The Gloucester 20-mile road race was one of the most-established races on the Spring road race calendar as it offered runners the opportunity to hone their preparations for the season's marathons.

 

The organisers were particularly proud of the fact that every last penny from the races' proceeds went back into promoting grass roots athletics in Gloucester.

 

The event was usually run in March and in 2020 we successfully held the event 2 days before the first lockdown.  With COVID continuing into 2021 we were unable to hold the event in March that year and along with many events moved to the autumn (September 5th). 

 

The course we used is in the ever growing Hunts Grove area and, due to road and infrastructure works, became un-accessible. We were unable to plan a suitable alternative route and get all the permissions required in time.  We start organising the race up to a year before race date.  Because of this, and with great reluctance, we are unfortunately unable to promote this valuable race for the foreseeable future.  If circumstances change, we will do our best to resurrect the event, although this does require someone to step up and take on the role of Race Organiser.
