Well Run Trail Runs - Wednesday 20th May 2026
This week Bourton Roadrunners focussed on organised social running events, kicking-off Wednesday evening with the Well Run trail runs at Dunkerton Park, near Charlton Kings. This series aims at promoting good mental wellbeing for all and four members joined the chase across opened fields and weaving through the beautiful woodlands.
In the 10km event it was Jaq Underwood who nosed ahead in 61:35, with Lisa Braid 61:12 and Jen Goodwin 66:49. New member Mia Townsend opted for the 5Km distance where she gave a strong performance in 51:44.
Soul & Stride 5K - Saturday 23rd May 2026
Meanwhile, Kevin Goodwill and Rebecca Townsend joined the ‘Soul & Stride” running community on Saturday at the Soul & Stride 5k; a free social community-based group in Cheltenham.
Whilst the distance turned out to be just over 5Km at 3.4 miles, it proved to be a fun event, with Rebecca achieving 25:32 with Kevin in 25:37.
