Anyone over 18 is welcome to join.

Due to our insurance policy, we’re unable to include participants under 18, but all adults are free to take part.

Absolutely not, you won’t be left behind.

We make sure everyone stays together by using run‑backs and mustering, so no runner is ever on their own.

If you can comfortably run around 4 miles in roughly 42 minutes or less, you’re very welcome to try one of our main road sessions on a Tuesday or Thursday evening. It’s a great way to get a feel for the club and see whether our standard run is the right starting point for you.

We welcome any prospective new members to come and try us out for two or three sessions for free before deciding if you′d like to join or not.

Take your time, we think you′ll like us!

We never leave anyone behind, we use run‑backs and mustering to keep the group together.

We run every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30pm from The Masons in Mickleover.

On Tuesdays, we offer a range of groups to suit different running speeds, and on the first Tuesday of every month we head out for a club trail run at a location away from The Masons.

On Thursdays, we run at steady, inclusive paces suitable for a variety of runners.

We also mix things up with intervals, hill reps, trail runs in Spring/Summer, and head‑torch runs through Winter.

Weekly paces are published on our social media channels the weekend before, so everyone knows what to expect.

Occasional Sunday runs happen too, usually organised informally by members via our Facebook page.

What you like really. Most people go for shorts and a technical t-shirt or vest in the summer. Road shoes are fine for most of our routes.

In winter people tend to wear leggings and long tops, maybe with a t-shirt or something on top of that if it’s cold. The winter routes are mainly on the pavement, but wear something bright and / or high viz if you have it.

Unfortunately this may not be possible due to the high number of people we get at run runs and narrow paths we may take during the sessions.

Social (non competitive, non England Athletics affiliation) membership is £17.00 for the whole year. This entitles you to train at the Tuesday and Thursday sessions.

If you prefer to be affiliated to England Athletics [Competing Members] which entitles you to discounts on race entry fees (at least £2 per race) then the cost is £37.

The club is run by a committee of unpaid volunteers.

There are lots of benefits: - Running in a group is much more fun and safer than running on your own.

It′s easier to keep motivated, particularly in the winter and can help with speed, distance and general gains in your running.

We are a friendly, sociable group who not only appreciate the benefits of running (physical and mental health) but also enjoy the social aspects too.

Joining the Club has provided many of us with a wider social group and access to shared running (and life) experiences too!

Competing Members that have been rejected for entry to the London Marathon ballot can go in the hat for the one club place.
