What we do

Regular Training Sessions
We train regularly on Mondays and Wednesdays evenings at the Sowerby Sports Village. During the winter months we offer both indoor and outdoor training opportunities for all abilities.

Trial Runs
Our regular time trials are a great way of recording how your running is going. Taking place in different locations they are also a fantastic way to meet others and run in a different part of the area whilst seeing how you are progressing

Club Championship
Each year we hold a club championship which includes a combination of short races, road races and fell races, long races and even a half marathon run.
Over the year there are plenty of opportunities to collect points, but don’t worry if if you don’t feel ready for a half marathon distance just yet. You can still get your points without one.

Informal running groups
In the meantime we offer regular informal running opportunities and social evenings on several days of the week in the area for several skill levels. They are also a great opportunity to make new friends.
