Training takes place at 7pm every Tuesday & Thursdays. Saturday training is at 9am.
On Sundays, members meet at the clubhouse at 9am for a long run, followed by coffee. However, this isn’t a coached session.
You can join any time during the year. Drop us an e-mail and we can arrange for you to join one of our training sessions and try it out for a couple of weeks.
All members must be 18 years old or over.
We have various standards from elite athletes to beginners.
