1. Thornbury 10K Road Race – Thursday 18th June 2026 – Marshall Alert – helpers still needed.

Thanks to all who have signed up to help Marshall the 10k event.  We have just enough to be able to run the event safely. 

However, with potential drop outs and unforseen circumstances beforehand it is always useful if not essential to have a few reserves to call on so pleas continue to volunteer if you can make yourself available.

I may not be able to guarantee a beautiful evening out in the sunshine (but fingers crossed it will be).  But I can say that we have a great event with friendly runners, lovely club mates to marshal with and a very grateful race director!  Go on – you know you want to!  Here’s the link to the form  – Thornbury 10k Marshalling
