Running the 10-Mile Sodbury Slog 'Mud Run' · 9 November 2025

Opened in 1869 by the Midland Railway and closed under the Beeching Axe of the 1960's the AVR was preserved by an enthusiastic group of volunteers. Today, 50 years on, the sound of steam can once again be heard along the Avon Valley

Story

The Avon Valley Railway’s volunteering officer Matilda Snook & trustee Joseph Dean have signed up to undertake the local 10-mile 'Sodbury Slog' in November to raise much-needed funds for the Avon Valley Railway Heritage Trust.

Joe in particular is feeling somewhat apprehensive about what is described as "a lung-busting, trainer-ruining, hill climbing, multi-terrain challenge" where “mud is NOT optional"….. so any donations would be very gratefuly received!

Cash donations are also welcome, please hand them in to Bitton station office (BS30 6HD)

Thank you!!
