Early Bird Entries for 2020 (June 14th) NOW OPEN
Well done to all who completed one of our races. We hope all 10k and 5k runners enjoyed that last long haul, which is Hobs Hole Lane - we hope our little encouragements amused you and helped you up.
We were pleased to be able to deliver a small window of great weather for the event, despite poor forecasts earlier in the week.
The 10k race was sold out well before race day and 442 runners completed the race. Results for the 10k are published here. You can also find links here to auto-triggered finish-line photos for all races.
Don't miss out next year. Our race day will be Sunday June 14th. Early Bird entries can now be made here.

Aldridge Running Club are proud to continue the tradition of covering all 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. Well done all.
We made an exception this year, with one runner taking part. Andrea Shaw-Matthews, gained her place by winning a competition within the club to design the bespoke medal for this year - we hope you all like it.
