Whether you are looking to join your first running club or are moving from elsewhere I’m sure you have questions about us and how this club works.
Read our “About Us” page which explains Who we are.
Are we friendly?
Absolutely! We offer a buddy to all new starters who will welcome you and be your go to on club runs and point you to the right people to talk to.
Am I too slow (or even too fast!)?
We aim to cater for a wide range of abilities. When we go out together, we have groups from 8 min/mile up to 12 min/mile, we run on road and trail (trail is always a bit slower), we also have recovery groups where members are coming back from injury which are any pace needed on the day. We also operate a loop-back method so that no-one ever gets left behind. We recommend you are comfortable running for 45-50 minutes at your chosen pace before you come along so that you can get the most out of the club runs. (As an example if you are looking to run with the 12min/mile group you should be able to run
around 3.5-4 miles)
Do I need any special kit?
No, just come in your normal running gear. On the darker nights a head or chest torch is handy but not essential, when it’s warmer make sure you have water. We do have club kit which you can purchase.
Where and when do you meet?
