PVRC would like to invite you to participate in the 3rd running of this popular
event – The Bluebell Race. Timed to celebrate the establishment of spring, we hope
that your running experience will be enhanced by visual and olfactory stimulation
resulting from vast expanses of Bluebells (however, due to climatic conditions beyond
our control we cannot guarantee this!).
Our thOur thanks go to the Forestry Commission for allowing us the use of Collingbourne
Woods, Collingbourne Ducis Village Hall and the Parish Council for providing the
facilities at the event.
