THE fourth Dorstone Dawdle was held on July 3 on a beautiful sunny morning in the Golden Valley. This iconic 10K course is already well-known by local and further flung running clubs as a one to savour and return to year on year, with marvellously varied terrain, very quiet back roads for short stretches, common land, bridle paths and all superbly marked and marshalled by friendly locals.

For the less adventurous, the 4K Fun Run was held alongside the main race, a chance for youngsters and the less ambitious to exercise their limbs as well.

Next year's race is on the first Sunday in July at 11am, so mark it in your calendar now.
