2026 Dursley Dozen recap

Steve Rugman at the 2026 Dursley Dozen

A cold and wet start set the tone for this year’s Dursley Dozen, with weeks of rain leaving the ground soft, slippy and ready to test everyone from the off.

The start line was buzzing, top-tier vibes as runners headed up from The Spot and straight into the winding, slippery climbs that Stinchcombe is famous for. There’s no easing into the Dozen… it makes you earn it early.

The first major landmark, Leaf & Ground, brought electric support once again. The energy there was unreal — and very much needed before tackling the next grind uphill.

From slippy fields and boggy descents to the infamous rope climb, the Dozen once again proved why it’s Dursley’s best race of the season. Tough, relentless, local and absolutely brilliant.

The overall winner of the 2026 Dursley Dozen was Dursley Running Club’s very own Charlie Worlsford who backed up his 2025 win while Anne Kenchington crossed the finish line as first female.
