This popular, friendly race which raises funds for Cropwell Bishop Friends of the School and the 1st Cropwell Bishop Scout Group also aims to improve young people’s experiences, enabling them to grow and reach their potential and make a positive contribution to society.

Runners genuinely relish this route which passes through the villages of Colston Bassett and Cropwell Bishop which boasts one of a select six creameries that produce the world famous Stilton.

The race starts at 10am from Cropwell Bishop Memorial Hall and winds its way around the villages before finishing at the Memorial Hall. This is an undulating course in a pleasant setting with views across the Vale of Belvoir to enjoy.
