We have reviewed the decision to postpone our second race of the season. The 2021/22 Gloucestershire CC League will now be a three race league using the dates and venues of the first, third and fourth meetings. The league awards will be on a best 2 out of 3 basis.

Open Short Course Cross Country Running Event Sunday 19^th December 2021

Promoted on behalf of  Gloucestershire AAA by Stroud and District AC

Venue Stratford Park Stroud by kind permission of Stroud Leisure.

This is an open meeting welcoming runners from other counties with medals for first three males and first three females in each race. Medals for young athlete races will be awarded as they finish. Seniors and masters soon after the race.

Please note that the park is a public space used by many other users; we do not have exclusive rights! Consequently, runners, marshals and spectators should allow them full use of the paths and woods. Dogs are allowed in the park preferably on a lead if with race spectators.

Particular care should be taken at the entrance to Callowell Field where we have permission, on race day only, to remove a small section of fence for the runners to enter and exit the field. Spectators and runners going to and from the start area should use the metal ‘kissing gate’. Thank you.

There is a large car park at the venue but we also have additional spaces available in the college if entries rise to larger numbers. Tesco’s supermarket is also only a five minutes walk from the event.

Cafe2U will be in attendance for refreshments and the park café also hopes to be open. Stroud Leisure Centre toilets are available for runners and there are also public toilets in the car park. As access is limited there are no toilets in the start field.

Programme (All races will be for both male and female unless combined entries exceeds 120 in which case there will be an adjustment to the timetable to split the races into male and female races.)

We are always looking for people to assist at the finish. Contact the chair, Arthur Daley if you wish to help even if only for a few races.

 The Gloucestershire AAA is an association of volunteeers much like parkrun. We  need  people to help at events such as league meetings. Could you help for an hour or two?

We also need help  to manage the inter-counties cross country teams in March. We have two people willing to share the task so you will not be on your own and it can be fun! Offer your help to Arthur Daley, Chair of GAAA .
