Riverbank Rollick 2020
12 January 2020
Thornbury Running Club’s Riverbank Rollick will be held on Sunday January 12th 2020 at 11.00.
The course offers different terrains, different places, different views… and is probably different to anything you’ve tried before. Challenging too, but very rewarding.
We will be issuing updated medals for each race organised by TRC in 2020. Similar to previous years, these medals will join together if you complete all 3 races (Riverbank Rollick, Thornbury 10km and the Oldbury 10 miler.)
Race HQ is at the New Sports Hall, Castle School, Park Rd, Thornbury, Bristol BS35 1HT.
The Riverbank Rollick is 9.6 miles long, and has approx. 120m of ascent and is 80 per cent off-road, on trails, bridle paths, across fields and through woodland.

Starts at ‘The Pithay’ near St Mary’s Church, Thornbury, heads out to St Arilda’s Church at Oldbury, down to the scenic Severn Riverbank before turning left along the estuary for about 1.5 miles past Whale Wharf with views over to the Bridge and Chepstow. It then heads back through the village of Littleton Upon Severn and beside Thornbury Golf course and into Mundy Playing Fields. Instead of the traditional finish here, the course now continues through the Playing Fields (AND THE STREAM!!).
Leave Mundy playing fields through the gate shortly after exiting the stream. Follow public footpath to Kington Lane, across Kington Lane through Cemetery and back to Pithay start (9 miles).
Take Pithay right fork and follow path in a loop back to Sheiling School and onto public footpath and follow back into School Playing Fields. Final sprint across field & alongside all-weather pitch to finish at pitch corner
