Training and Social Runs

Please note that Wednesday is the only coached session. All other events are informal social runs (often led by a qualified leader, but not always) and, as such, you participate at your own risk.

We encourage all paces to attend, but it is helpful if you can run 5k as this tends to be the minimum distance covered.  You don’t need to be a member to join a social run or training session – everyone is welcome.
