Why join a club
- Safety in numbers, it's dark during winter time
- Safer on the roads, cars can see a larger group of runners
- Receive great advice from like minded people on kit, races, health and more
- Social, you can run or chat, it's your choice
- Discounted entry into major races, better chances of entry into some
Why not come along to a few training sessions before you consider joining long term. Meet with members, run with us on an easy session, sweat with us on a tough hills session, sprint with us on a flat fast route. Hang around for a coffee afterwards. Bring a friend.
