Can I just turn up, or do I have to be a member?

Please feel free to come and run with us, member or not. We welcome runners of all ages, abilities and there is no pressure to join. However - you may only enter races as a 'Straggler' if you are a member and you will benefit in many ways by becoming a member.

 

I have only just started running, will everybody be too fast for me?

We have a beginners group, the Little Feet who meet on Mondays - this is probably a good place for you if you are just starting out. We always run short distance/gentle pace runs on our Thursday night outings too- just ask!

 

I'm training for the London Marathon will I find others to train with?

Certainly. We always have 20 or so runners in the London Marathon and a number training for other spring marathon's whose pace varies from 2h30m to over 5 hours. You can find out more on our Marathon page or in the London Marathon's own web site.

 

Do you offer structured training?
