Aldridge Running Festival - 12 June 2022

After two years when we were unable to hold our event it was great to be able to welcome runners back to our 10k and 5k races, also to our 1 mile and 400m Children's races.

Children's Races

It was lovely to see so many children enjoying the challenge of racing over 400m and 1 mile - some even did both!

​Well done to every one of you.

We were delighted that Mary Poppins turned out to watch over the children and encourage them on their way.


If any families would like to share photos of their own children's achievements (without any others you don't know) for inclusion on this page, please email them them to us using this link​, preferably with a short caption.

Aldridge Running Club are proud to continue the tradition of covering volunteer positions through club members, who do not participate in the race, choosing instead to ensure the safety and success of the race, cheering and encourage others.  We were also grateful this year for the support of ex-members and friends, also to the Scouts for help at the water station.

We do not, however, deprive club members of the joy of Hobs Hole Lane, as we run our own races the Tuesday after the main race. Our own 10k race was won jointly by Adam Smith and Toby Oury, with Lisa Wakeman taking 1st lady, whilst our club 5k race was won by Eddie Evitt, with Claire Crook taking 1st lady.
