A Club For Every Runner
Based in Essington, we welcome runners of all abilities aged 18 and over. It doesn’t matter if you’re running for company, fitness, or looking to smash your PBs, you’ll find a home here.
No runner is ever left behind. Thanks to our structured loopback running system on club nights, groups stay tightly knit regardless of individual pacing.
Why Join Us?
- Structured Monday and Wednesday evening group runs.
- Free trial runs available for runners able to cover 5km in under 45 minutes.
- Dedicated beginner pathway: Couch to Awesomeness (C2A).
- Affiliation options for England Athletics first and second claim members.
- Friendly welcoming atmosphere.
Our Run Nights
We run three distance-based groups on our club nights. Pace is never an issue because all groups use loopback running to keep everyone connected as a single unit.
Monday & Wednesday
We hold our main club runs on Monday and Wednesday evening at 6:30pm, with the long route runners starting at 6pm.
During darker months, we request that all runners bring lights and if possible, weare bright or reflective kit.
Three Routes
Each night we provide three run routes to choose from; Short (5-7km), Middle (7-9km) or Long (10+km).
Wednesday night runs are longer than Monday night runs to accomodate any runners doing training for a race.
Your Pace
As long as you are able to run at 11 min/mile (6.50 k/m ) then we have a run pace for you.
We provide up to 4 different pace groups per route, each with a LIRF Run Leader and first aid trained.
Couch To Awesomeness (C2A)
New to running or returning after a long break? Our customised 10-week C2A course takes you smoothly from 0km to running 5km non-stop in a supportive, friendly atmosphere.
The course culminates with a celebration run at Chasewater Parkrun, after which graduates can upgrade straight to full club membership.
If there is no C2A running at the moment, you can register to be amongst the first to find out when the next course starts.
