New Club Members
We welcome all levels of runner, beginner or experienced.
If you are thinking of joining us we'll be pleased to see you. We normally suggest that you come along and chat or run with us first for a few weeks, so that you can decide whether the club is right for you.
If you are a complete beginner, as well as our Spring Training Initiative initiative, we have a welcome night on the first Thursday of every month where we will look after you. You are most welcome to come along and maybe stop afterwards for a drink and chat. If you'd like more details please contact one of our committee member, see below.
If you are new to running or are returning to running after a long period away, we offer support to runners allowing them to build up fitness, mileage and/or pace at a rate that is suitable for the individual.
If you are an experienced runner, we have training groups of different abilities to help you improve.
For details of Club nights, see our Training pages. Alternatively, you can contact one of the committee members - phone numbers and e-mail addresses are on our Committee web page.
