ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING?
BEFORE YOU JOIN
You are very welcome to run with us for two or three weeks before making a commitment to join. We sincerely hope that you will like us enough to want to become a member of the finest athletic club in the South West (probably). Runners are welcome at any of our training nights. Most sessions are structured to cater for a wide range of standards and ability. New members are encouraged to come along to our Tuesday night session in the first instance as this will give you an opportunity to meet the coaching team, find out more about the club and what we have to offer. Please check our events calendar for details of our current activities. Visiting runners are always very welcome.

WHAT LEVEL OF RUNNING ABILITY DO I NEED?
We try to structure training to meet the needs of all runners but we expect everyone to be at a basic level of running ability. Ideally you should be able to run a distance of 5 miles or more at something like 11-12 min mile pace. Tuesday night training however is structured in such a way that anyone can participate without feeling awkward or out of place so why not come along and give it a try.
Contact Jim Wotton on 01934 814208 to let us know if you would like to come along and find out more about the club and what we do.
