Bourton Roadrunners’ Club Competitions
Club Competition Series. Each year members compete in the club’s own race series, with points being awarded for their best finishes versus fellow club members.
The club series provides an inclusive mix of external races and internal club events, including participation at club training sessions, parkrun and special events. From 2025, members must take part in at least six events in order to qualify. The best eight results will count, but all events can be attended/entered. Age on 1st January 2025 determines your age category.
New for this year is the Joker. This allows you to pick one of the organised races where you can double your points. Your intention to play the Joker must be declared at least 24 hours prior to the event and can only be played once!

Gloucestershire AAA Cross Country - League and County Championships
Organised by Gloucestershire AAA, they’re good fun for women who can run 6.5k, men who can run 9.9k, and aren’t afraid of mud. Also a chance to see our Juniors running, which is exciting and inspiring! No PB’s; just positions count, but mostly about taking part!
The dates and venues announced for the remaining Gloucestershire Cross Country League 2025/26 season are:
Round 2 - Saturday 1st November 2025 - Cirencester Park
Round 3 - Sunday 14th December 2025 - Bath
Round 4 - Saturday 14th February 2026 - Cheltenham.
Online entries are via the Entry4Sports portal at Entry4Sports UK .co.uk
Always check the County’s website for the latest updates and information for all events and the latest results.
For full details, including Rules, Eligibility, Fees and a link to the online entry system, please visit the Glos. AAA Cross Country website page.
Cross Country County Championships
With the continuing lack of suitable venues, Gloucestershire AAA will be holding the championships within a league fixture. As a similar situation
exists in the AAA’s of Wiltshire, Avon and Somerset, who provide many of our league runners, their championships will also be run within the
same league fixture. As noted above, event 3 (Bath) will incorporate the County Chapionships this season.
For full details visit the Glos. AAA Cross Country page.
