How it works

1. Work out where to start

If you can’t yet run continuously for around 30 minutes, or you’re unsure, start with our beginners. If you can, try our regular running groups. You don’t need to race or run fast.

2. Tell us you’re interested

Use the form on the Beginners or Runners page. Tell us how your running is going and we’ll help you choose a group. Sending the form doesn’t take payment or create a membership.

3. Choose your trial and start date

The Beginner Trial is £18 for three weeks of walking and jogging. If you already run for around 30 minutes, choose the £15 Basic or £20 Premium Runner Trial. Premium adds individual coaching.

All trials are one-off payments, with no automatic renewal or obligation to join. Runner Trials start on a date you choose within ten days of purchase, including purchase day. Beginner starts depend on the programme stage: check the three rules before paying.

4. Come to your first session

Agree your first session with us and check the meeting point before travelling. Come a few minutes early and tell the leader you’re new. We’ll explain the session and warm up together.

Your trial covers the sessions listed with it in Bishop’s Cleeve and Cheltenham. We’ll help you choose which to attend.

5. Find your runs in MyCRWC

Once your trial or membership starts, MyCRWC is where you’ll find your current sessions, routes and account. If you already have an account, keep using it.

6. Join afterwards if you want to

If you’d like to stay, Basic Running Membership is £15 monthly or £99 annually. Regular group sessions in Bishop’s Cleeve and Cheltenham are included, without paying for a second club.

Membership is a separate choice and payment. Personal coaching and separate events have their own terms.
