Where to start
How is your running at the moment?
Already running
Come and try a group run
Happy running for around 30 minutes without stopping? Come and try our regular group and interval sessions. You don’t need to race or know your pace group. We’ll help you choose.
Explore group runningWhy we run
A good reason to get out of the door
A session with a plan
There’s a reason behind each session. You can work on your running without having to plan every run yourself.
Company on dark evenings
Running with other people can make a winter evening feel very different. It’s one of the things our members value most.
No race entry needed
Training for a personal best? Great. Just want a regular run with some company? You belong here too.

Get to know people near home
A chat outside the Co-op, then a run along Gotherington Lane with the group. Club evenings are as much about the people as the running.
