RR10 – Marwell Zoo
The RR10 series returned to Marwell Zoo after a hiatus of a number of years. And WRR continued the great run streak of having a full team of 5 runners out for every race.

RR10 Whiteshute Ridge, Badger Farm (2022)
After the flat, open spaces at the previous RR10 (Wide Lane) this race was a different kettle of fish. Runners, some tents and flags were packed onto Whiteshute Ridge (Badger Farm, Winchester) for the penultimate RR10 of the season. It seemed more like a budget Glastonbury than a trail race, with not enough room toContinue reading “RR10 Whiteshute Ridge, Badger Farm (2022)”

RR10 Hamble (2021)
Third race of the Summer The third ‘road running’ race of the shortened season took place at Manor Farm near the river Hamble.

However it isContinue reading “RR10 Hamble (2021)”
RR10 Broadland (2021)
Second race of the Summer series The second RR10 at Broadlands in Romsey looked potentially to be taking place under a very mean looking dark set of clouds, quite a contrast to the steamy heat of last week, I can’t keep up with this weather, it could be anything next week. Some fortuitous parking inContinue reading “RR10 Broadland (2021)”
