Our running section was formed in the summer of 2020 with the initial intention of running a one-off Couch to 5k course. Our aim, however, was to encourage people not just to start running, but to keep running, so we continued to meet once the first Couch to 5k course was completed.

Over the next few years, people have joined us, attracted by our social, non-competitive ethos, where the emphasis is on running with like-minded friends, in a supportive and safe environment. Our commitment is to provide a club with no barriers to participation and free forever.

We meet every Monday evening at 6pm, at the Rugby Club. We run in 6 groups, at various paces and distances, to cater for all abilities.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability, experience, or background.

We host two Couch to 5k programmes each year, and more details can be found here.
