All,
Another great year, some super hot weather, lots of great athletics. The grass might be yellow, but the medals were golden! Well done athletes who joined us at the end of term for our competition event.
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.
A huge thank you to all the marshals, helpers, volunteers, supporters, runners, family and friends – just everyone who made the 2026 Dozen possible.

A brand new race, a single undulating lap, mostly on quiet country lanes.
This new road race covers a less usual distance of four miles and forms part of the 2025 Gloucestershire AAA Road Race Series.
It was a beautiful sunny evening, perfect running conditions with a slight breeze. This year the Peaks Race returned to an evening event with a start time of 7pm. 70 runners entered the event with 59 running including 27 Dursley Running Club members.
Well done to everyone who took part, we hope everyone enjoyed the race, enjoyed the stunning views and the happy marshals. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
