Wye Valley Runners are  to make their move in to the digital age. Entries will soon be open for the Wye Valley 10k, Gords 6 and the Breinton 10 mile with an on line entry option.

This years selected races 1st Couriers 5k race, Race the Bells,, Shobdon Hill, WVR Summer 10k, Hereford Half, Crocodile 8, Magic Roundabout, All 4 Summer League XC Races, Gord's 6 and Breinton 10.

Wye Valley Runners wish to thank all the runners, helpers,marshals, local residents and race sponsors Wye Valley Brewery for their great support on Sunday. Also the course preparation team for their great work on Saturday. It takes an immense effort by lots of volunteers to put on a race like this in a remote location in very difficult circumstances.
