Salisbury 10: a great race and a new course record
19 April 2026Tim Anderson
The highlight of the Salisbury 10 mile race is around 8 miles in when you reach the top of a hill, see the cathedral spire, and hear a marshal say, "it’s all downhill from here." Then you run for your life, ending up running round a track for the final sprint to the finish. It…
Harestock Handicap – March 26
12 March 2026Steve Oliver
Fast times at the March Harestock Handicap as the course was dry and a pleasure to run on. We even used the start/finish lectern for the first time this year. Hi-Viz and torches still very much the order of the day but we're all eagerly anticipating the clock change and giving it full beans in…

The Glorious Fifth… CC6 race at Itchen Valley Country Park
19 January 2026Stephen Lowy
Out of the January gloom a CC6 fixture emerged to reveal a resurgent club performance on a "proper muddy" course round the Itchen Valley CP on the third Sunday of 2026. 16 WRC club members represented us in this penultimate league (and fifth) race for the winter season. The course was just over 4.5 miles…
Harestock Handicap – January 26
9 January 2026Steve Oliver
The 2026 Harestock Handicap got off to an exciting start last night. Firstly it was unusual in being held on the second Thursday of the month (it is always on the first Thursday) and secondly it was held in spite of the weather forecast and the looming threat of storm Goretti. We do however go…

10 December 2025Andy Parkinson
The annual WRC Christmas Relays once again delivered everything we love about this event: teamwork, competitive racing, festive energy, and outstanding support from across the club. This year, 24 teams of three took on the 9K relay format, each runner completing three fast 1km legs. The atmosphere around the start/finish area was buzzing, with runners…
Harestock Handicap – December 25
6 December 2025Steve Oliver
Whether folks were inspired by the fast conditions or the realisation this was their last chance to be part of the 2025 handicap series we had three very welcome event newbies (Sarah Sansome, Mike Williamson and Seb Olingschlaeger) join us for the December handicap. With Lou Snook returning from injury we had a fine turnout…
Running with baggage: my experience at Gosport Half
27 November 2025Ruth Churchill
Gosport Half was my first organised event of the year and, also the furthest I’ve run in one go since March. I’m writing this in mid-November, so as you can gather, I haven’t run much lately. After a long period of rehab for a stubborn hamstring tendinopathy, I am gently building my mileage back up,…
