Our first practice for the 2024 Cotswold marathon will be on Sunday 22nd October with an 8 mile walk from Redbrook up the Newland valley, through Clearwell by the Castle, then onto Sling and dropping down through the Forest back to the Beaver Lodge.
This will be a fairly leisurely stroll as we start to build pace and endurance across the future practice walks.
The marathon itself is a timed event with trophies for winners in various classes. The event takes place on 3rd February 2024 in teams of three overnight across three distances:
Bronze – 10 miles
Silver – 20 miles
Gold – 30 miles
This year we are hoping to have teams in all events and be challenging for the trophies.
For the practice walk walkers will need:
- Walking shoes/boots
- Waterproofs
- drink
- snacks/packed lunch
Start – 09.30 Redbrook carpark – what3words or GoogleMaps
Finish – approx 13:00 Beaver lodge
