Train to compete or to keep fit and socialise (or both!)
We run two training sessions for members every week, each lasting around an hour.
Monday training
Every Monday at 7pm
Meet on Aliwal Road in Whittlesey at 6:50pm for a 7pm run.
We have groups running 5K, 5 mile and 7-8 mile routes at varying speeds to suit everyone.
For those who are recovering from injury or prefer a more sedate pace and a shorter distance, we usually have a group who run/walk. We aim to never let anyone go out alone!
Wednesday training
Every Wednesday 7pm
Usually meet at 7pm on Priors Road, near Park Lane School in Whittlesey. Summer locations are often elsewhere and we post locations.
Our qualified coaches run a mixture of fun sessions to help you build speed, stamina and fitness. Information about what we’ll be doing each week is shared with members in advance via email and our social media pages. As with all of our training, members are welcome whatever their level of ability.
Junior Running (Ages 4 – 16)
Currently our junior running takes place at the Danzen Stadium (until further notice).
Our programme is:
Winter 2024-2025 : 5.30pm – 6.30pm every Friday at the Floodlit Danzen Stadium, Drybread Road, Whittlesey PE7 2FH
Summer (from June 2025) : 5.30pm – 6.30pm every Friday at the Manor Field on Station Road, Whittlesey.
This is a safe and friendly session, which is mainly to encourage children to run.
Timed runs take place over a 400m lap course – typically children do timed runs of 3 laps, 2 laps, 1 lap and half a lap, although the exact programme varies from week to week. All run on grass. Our senior members supervise and often join in as ‘mobile marshals’, making sure the children are safe.
All ages and abilities are welcome; sessions are free and children do not need to be members to take part. Parents are expected to stay and support, or they are welcome to join in.
