The berkeley road race
The Annual Berkeley rRoad rRace is a annual road race that follows a 85.1 mile route through the Gloucestershire country  side. It starts and finishes in front of the world renown Berkeley campus secondary school in Wanswell. Usually during the race there are break away groups due to the hilly nature of the race, although there has twice been a bunch sprint at the finish line. First winner was Donovan Biggs in 2013 who edged elder brother Gavin in a sprint finish after they had broken away on the Tytherington Hill, a midway point during the race. 

It is usually held mid-June and is a well attended local event and always a thriller to watch.

== The junior event ==
The junior Berkeley Road Race is an even more popular event and drew twice as many spectators as its parent event in 2016.  Its record attendance of 21 people astounded the competitors and it is believed that it may have contributed to Campbell Martin's come-in-from-behind victory over William bBrown close behind.  William Brown follows the family tradition of cycling.  Campbell Martin had come back from an injury earlier in the year after he grazed his knee on the playground.  William's choice of cycle is a cheap tricycle and there is ongoing dispute over whether this is legal.
