It’s ideal if you are training for an event such as the Great North Run or the London Marathon as we can provide all sorts of training advice. If you just want to keep fit with other like minded people and get out on a Wednesday night…again we fit the bill!
Our Social members play an invaluable role within the club, supporting our runners at race events as well as marshalling.
