Alscot welcomed more than 100 runners for its first-ever Tempo 5K, with participants taking on the challenging course in soaring summer temperatures of 34 degrees.
Despite the heat, 106 runners completed the race, cheered on by enthusiastic supporters from neighbouring villages who lined the route, many armed with hosepipes to help runners cool down as they tackled the infamous climb up Atherstone Hill.
The event marked an exciting new chapter for Alscot, which not only hosted the race in partnership with Tempo Events but also entered its own team of runners to support Friends of Stratford Hospital. Through Emma Holman-West’s fundraising campaign and the generosity of supporters, Team Alscot has now raised more than £10,000 for the charity.
As we wrap up another wonderfully busy year, we wanted to share a special moment of celebration with all of you. Our Christmas video was made with good cheer, plenty of laughs, and deep appreciation for everyone that makes Alscot the special and unique place it is.
We wish you all a bright and joyful Christmas and a happy and successful new year.
Thanks for being part of our journey!
We’re now in our second year of regenerative farming, and it’s been fantastic to see real progress taking shape.
As part of our commitment to sustainable land management, we’re grazing our SFI land with organic sheep – working in partnership with Daylesford Organic and other local farmers. Daylesford has provided 700 organic Lleyn sheep to graze between October and December across 650 acres of overseeded Alscot land, laid with herbal leys.
This approach not only supports soil health and biodiversity, but also contributes to the wider goal of sustainable and organic food production, which we believe is essential for healthy living.
