England Masters team announced for Forest of Dean Autumn Half Marathon
We are delighted to celebrate those who will compete for England at the autumn masters representative trail race this weekend (27 September).
Taking place at the Forest of Dean, this half marathon course will follow local forest trails with some challenging hills thrown into the mix. Athletes will have the chance to explore the forest in all its beauty and glory just as the leaves begin to change colour. Organised by The Rotary Club of the Royal Forest of Dean and supported by the Forestry Commission, all proceeds are used to support charities, both locally and nationally.
