Aug / Sep – The Road To ?

[El Gordo]

Every year I also think about doing Cliveden, and I say I'll wait and see how the holiday programme pans out... by which time it's too late of course. Thanks for the reminder!

Definitely worth doing if family commitments allow. It's a real gem of a race. Coming as it does between Christmas and New Year, it's always cold and frosty, but has a good festive atmosphere. The course is tough, but scenic. Best of all is the way it gives you a small island of your own time during all those family get-togethers. Good for motivation and New Year enthusiasm too.

Usually sells out by middish November.
