Club members meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays to run at differing paces and distances of 5 to 6-ish miles or 6 to 8-ish miles. During lighter evenings we participate in off-road runs and use road routes in the winter months. For information on routes, see the rota below.
On Tuesdays & Thursdays, we meet at 7pm in Aireville Park at the picnic bench by the main path near the parkrun finish point (see map below).
On Wednesdays we have a social run which is off road. Intervals take place on most Tuesdays. The Wednesday ‘pub runs’ start at a different location each week at 7pm. Please ask for the start place if you’d like to join us.
