Running on the road is the basic bread and butter for running. There are many and varied types and distances from flat to put in as many hills as you can and various distances from 5km to the marathon. Many people join clubs with that dream of running The London Marathon, but they also find out there is so much more to running than that and an endless series of runs to achieve their personal goals. However a running club can offer so much more than that.

For a start there is running in a group of runners who share your common interest. Very quickly you make friends and find yourself racing against people running at speeds and times you never believed possible. With a club coach you learn how to harness these newly discovered talents and your hooked to keeping fit and enjoying it and it will help you feel you can achieve something out of life that no-one can take away from you giving you a wonderful feeling inside yourself. As in that song from the Sydney Olympics ‘ What have you done today to make you feel good.’

One thing that many miss that is so enjoyable with running with a club is Team Running. There is such a difference to running for your friends instead of for yourself and the satisfaction of seeing what you can do together and it builds a great closeness with your colleagues in the Club. Which is why Team Captains are so important.

On this page we hope to feature all the clubs roadrunning events we compete in and their achievements both personally and as a team.
