Riverbank Rollick
Riverbank Rollick is a recurring off-road run organised by Thornbury Running Club volunteers. The course is 9.6 mile and is roughly 80% off-road, taking runners along trails, bridle paths, across fields, through woodland, through a stream and beside a riverbank. Because the event takes place in January it commonly involves muddy conditions.
Entries are available only through Full on Sport; there are no on-the-day entries. The minimum age for entry is 18 years. The event uses a mass start with gun to chip timing. One water station is located at Littleton-upon-Severn, approximately 5.8 miles (9 km) from the start, and the organisers expect a maximum run time of about 2.5 hours; progress may be reviewed at the Littleton water station and participants could be asked to withdraw for safety and operational reasons.
All finishers receive a metal medal and a bespoke buff for the 2027 event. The race is part of the TRC Race Series alongside the Thornbury 10km and Oldbury 10 mile; completing all three events produces linked medals, and a series entry option includes a cumulative prize for fastest total time across the three events.
Race HQ is at the New Sports Hall, Castle School, Park Road, Thornbury, Bristol BS35 1H. Number collection and refreshment provision take place in the school sports hall. The organisers describe a range of sustainability measures such as encouraging car sharing, using compostable cups, and recycling excess medals and unclaimed clothing.
