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.

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.
