Riverbank Rollick 2026 : event overview
The Riverbank Rollick, organised by Thornbury Running Club, takes place on 18 January 2026. The course is 9.6 miles long and about 80% off-road. The route uses trails and bridle paths, crosses fields, goes through woodland and a stream, and runs along a riverbank. Held in January, course conditions often include mud. All finishers receive a bespoke buff and a metal medal for 2026; the three medals from the club's 2026 race series link together. There are individual prizes across 16 major categories and an overall prize for the woman and man with the cumulative fastest absolute time across the three-event series.
