Community and Support: We are a welcoming group where everyone belongs. Beyond running, we are here for each other in life’s challenges, offering a dependable network of friends who care.

 

Well-Being: We promote physical and mental health through running, balanced with enjoying life’s little pleasures - like coffee and treats shared together.

Consider joining us! Whether you are a beginner, enjoy social running, or aim to enhance your pace and time, we will support you throughout your running journey. 
 

Why not check us out on our Wednesday or Saturday runs? We'll make sure you run with a buddy or group that matches your ability, and you can also enjoy the post-run social. You will discover that we are a real community as well as a running club.
