Cross Country – Sunday 5th March

The final fixture in the Gloucestershire Cross Country Season took place last Sunday with several members taking part on a scenic course at Over Farm Park. Great team efforts!

Green Man Ultra Winter – Saturday 4th March

On Saturday Simon Dodd took part in the Green Man Ultra Winter edition, a 45 mile forest path that that runs around the surroundings of Bristol. This was his second time doing the winter Green Man, an event he describes as a well run local Ultra marathon, good for first timers and takes you to parts of Bristol you may not have been before. Simon was pleased to get within 20 minutes of his 2019 time.

Ironwood Challenge, Long Ashton – Sunday 26th February

The conditions were pretty good this year and the Nailsea RC marshals did a brilliant job, giving us lots of encouragement on a tricky course.

Well done to Matt Crocker, Paula Hall, Sally Richards plus special mention to new member Janek Halliwell, who represented the club for the first time.
