Race Diary

Last updated 01-Feb

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)

Dates with a question mark have been guessed from 2010's.

Our own events are highlighted. The list also includes some AVR club events, also highlighted, since that makes it easier for us to see what's happening within the club. It is also available as a summary table.

There are links to some other race diaries on our links page.

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.
