We are very pleased to announce another Aspire inaugural event to be added to our race calendar. The new Run the River 7.5/15k. This will be held on the morning of Sunday 17th July, 2016. Both races will commence at 10:00am (all runners)

An amazingly diverse multi terrain course that will be held on a mixture of roadside path, the trails alongside the stunning River Avon and will also transverse through a mixture of broadleaved woodland and open grassland. All this whilst taking in the beautiful surroundings of the Avon Valley.

Race registration will commence at 9am and will be held inside the Stothert & Pitt Rugby Club on the main Bristol to Bath A4 (near The Globe pub at Newton St Loe) which can easily be accessed by bike, car and bus.

The 7.5k is a single loop, the 15k a two loop course which will incorporate trails, public footpaths and open countryside. The course is flat and will be suitable for all standards of runner.

Prices:

15k – £15/£13
7.5k – £13/£11

The start and finish will be on the Rugby Club field and the course takes in a figure of 8 route. Firstly going left following the River Avon up to Saltford Rowing Club and then runners will run the A4 footpath back to the Rugby Club then bear right along the River again to the Boathouse Pub and then up on to the A4 footpath back to the Rugby Club to the finish. So a good mixture of terrain to keep everyone on their toes.

Race Registration will start at 9am for the collection of race numbers on the day.
