Tortoise & Hare Run 2025
Following on from the success of previous year's Tortoise and Hare Runs, we repeated the event once again. As usual the event was a success and this time we were blessed with good weather.
There were three separate routes, one for the 'Tortoise Run', which was for old, low-powered machines, one for the 'Hare Run', and one for the 'Snail Run'.
With this being a charitable event, a sizeable donation will be made to
Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance TBA and Freewheelers (Blood Bikes) TBA from the proceeds.
