We are supporting the following two charities at this year’s race:

Stow Disability Association (SDA) was set up in 1995 by people with disabilities for people with disabilities, no matter how minor, and their carers.

We are grateful again this year for the generous support of High Bridge Jewellers, Bourton-on-the-Water. In addition to an extensive prize list. Also to the Cotswold Sports Hall for their generous support with the provision of the race HQ.
