Race Diary

Last updated 07-Sep

This list is maintained by Rick Wood so please direct any errors or omissions to him. (AVR addresses are Firstname dot Lastname at AxeValleyRunners dot org dot uk)

Most dates have been confirmed for this year but those with a question mark are guessed from last year's.

Our own events are highlighted. The list also includes some AVR club events, also highlighted, cos that makes it easier for us to see what's happening within the club.

We are sometimes asked about multi-terrain races in the area so there's a summary of the main ones down here.

Sidmouth RC's Brian Gosling organises informal multi-terrain runs on Friday mornings - details here.

Don't be afraid to take big steps. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.

- David Lloyd George.
