Saturday Social Run
Saturdays at 8.15am
Benson Parish Hall (Sunnyside)
This is our main social run. After a 5-minute warm up, our trained leaders will offer a selection of different routes to ensure there is a distance and pace to suit everyone. These smaller groups, which are all accompanied by a leader, allow us to provide an enjoyable, safe run for everyone.
Speed and Stamina
Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm
CURRENT LOCATION - BENSON
Benson Parish Hall (winter)
Cow Common (summer)
Wednesday night interval sessions (hills in the summer) are coached sessions aimed at increasing cardiovascular fitness and speed as well as improving running form. They follow a varied programme of sessions that are inclusive and appropriate for most level of runner. It’s all about challenging yourself and making improvements alongside fellow runners who can help boost your motivation and provide camaraderie.
We start at 1930 from the Parish Hall on Sunnyside September through to May and from Cow Common carpark May through to September. Hi viz clothing recommended all year round and a head or body torch is essential for the darker evenings from September to May. Come and give these friendly and inclusive sessions a go.
