• Notes: The aim of the route is to showcase Gloucester. It passes the cathedral, goes through the docks and Gloucester Quays and then runs along the canal towpath.  Given the intention of taking in the sites, it does twist in the odd place, but is still a fast course.  The event is very much a community event, re-established by Davies and Partners Solicitors and Gloucester Quays Rotary, following the decision of commercial organisers not to continue with it.  The proceeds will be given to Gloucester charities.
