Exciting News!!

​This year we will be joining a growing number of races making their events ‘single use plastic free’ which means there will be no carrier bags or bottles being given out.

We will be having compostable & biodegradable paper cups for you at the finish & you are more than welcome to bring your own bottles too.

Many thanks to thristybox.co.uk for their invaluable advice on the subject & for helping supply the cups for us

Previous Race Report

Hundreds of runners and spectators gathered at the Wrekin on Saturday for the 4th annual running of the Wrekin Relay challenge hosted by Wrekin Road Runners. Teams of three, made up predominantly of local club runners competed against each other to win prizes in the categories of male, female and mixed teams. The athletes set off at 2pm on the 3.8 mile loop of the Wrekin, taking on technical decent and two significant lung busting climbs, one half way through the route and the other killer climb up to the handover point. Competitors tagged their teammates before gathering their breath to receive a bespoke medal, a memento of the race.

Eventual winners in each category were Scott Hall, Carl Aveyard, Dom Jones representing Mercia Fell Runners and Shrewsbury Athletic Club in the male category, in a time of 1 hour, 13 minutes and 10 seconds. The ladies spoils were taken by Julie Jones, Amy Aldridge and Lauren Poole from Lawley Running Club in 1:41:03. Finally the mixed team again was from Lawley, winning in 1:24:21; a team made up of Craig Jones, Louise Morgan and Dan Turner.

The race has been popular since its inception in 2014 and this year proved no different. Louise from Team Evolve said: “As a competitor, the race ran like clockwork and the support from the marshals (and spectators) on the course was superb! Well done and thanks to all involved!”. 


Race Director Phil Goodwin of Wrekin Road Runners was keen to emphasise the importance of the volunteers who gave up their time to ensure the race could run smoothly: “This is a tough race with competitors who really don’t want to let their team mates down. The support on the course and at race HQ is critical to making this an enjoyable event and more importantly a safe one. Thank you to everyone who contributed.”


​The race also raises money for the Midlands Air Ambulance, a service that is solely funded by charity donations and wouldn’t exist without the various contributions from individuals and sporting events.
