Club runs with Redway Runners
For runs in the club, no need to book, just turn up as long as you are a member. If you are not a member you can join it is only £5 for the year to 31 March, (January to March till next year, so up to 15 months) to join click here
Our weekly run schedule details all the regular running activities that take place each day. We have different runs to suit all levels and all paces – there’s something for everyone!
You can find details of what happens on runs in the club, guidelines for runners and welfare information, click here
Our Step Up runs and Run Walk Run groups are at an easier pace and a shorter distance so for runners new to running can be a good place to start then after that we have club or Social runs, as well as Paced runs where the runners go at a set speed, plus intervals where runners work as a group on speed or endurance, this might involve running hills or short bursts of quicker running.
Many of our run’s use ‘loop-backs’ to keep everyone together and encourage a mixture of paces running together. Find out more about loop-backs.
Any early morning or evening runs that take place in the dark a head torch and bright clothing is required for your own safety and the safety of others.
In addition to the run schedule, we also organise, free beginner courses, Need for Speed Under 18s Improve Your Running and Move on Up courses.
