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. Interval training takes place on most Tuesdays. 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. The Wednesday social runs start at a different location each week at 7pm. Please ask for the start place if you'd like to join us. Email skiptonacseniors@gmail.com for further information about Senior running.
