WELCOME TO THE CLUB

Whatever your running ability, we are here to help.

Join our running club

Are you new to running, training for an event, or simply looking to get fitter? Not sure if joining a club is right for you? Whatever your goal or experience level, you’ll find a place with us.

We welcome runners of all abilities, from complete beginners with our popular Couch to 5K programme, through to experienced athletes training for 5K, 10K, half marathons, marathons, and even ultras. Whether your interest lies in road running, trail running, track, or field events, there’s something here for everyone.

Our club is proud to have a friendly and supportive community of around 100 senior members, with a strong and growing women’s section, as well as an enthusiastic junior group of around 40 young athletes. Most of our members enjoy road running year-round, covering distances all the way up to the marathon.

We’re also active across the seasons, taking part in local cross-country leagues during the winter, including regional and national championships, and competing in track and field leagues throughout the summer. For those who enjoy a bit more adventure, some of our runners regularly take on fell and trail races too.

Above all, we’re more than just a running club, we’re a community that supports, motivates, and celebrates every member’s journey.

Come and be part of it and start your running journey.

WHAT OUR AMAZING MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY

I joined the club in 2002, I needed to get fit, not realising at the time I would ever compete and race well. The club members and coaches showed me how to train properly, and I improved massively within a few months. I love the club and I love to race for the club.

After spending almost, a decade as a solo runner I joined the club in 2021, to progress from being a fun runner. I met loads of great people, who encourage each other at all levels. Wouldn’t get the same support from any other running club. I regret not joining BRC sooner.
