We always welcome runners who would like to join our club!

Training night

The club's main training night is on Thursday. Anyone thinking about joining the club must initially come on a Thursday night. We meet at Wootton Community Centre (Curtlee Hill, Wootton Fields) at 7.15pm. We split into seven groups of various speeds and abilities. All groups start their training session off at 7.30pm and are usually back at the Community Centre about 8.45pm (depending on the session).

Details of the weekly training schedules can be found here, along with the group criteria. High viz is now mandatory for all Thursday and Tuesday night sessions.

If you are new to running, see below 'Without/ little running experience'

In addition to the main Thursday night training sessions, we also organise Tuesday and Sunday sessions, further information on these sessions are available on the weekly Club members' email.

Would like to join us?

With running experience - If you have some experience of running (e.g. you are able to run continuously for 45/55 minutes at 11/12 minutes per mile), please just turn up to the Thursday night session and make yourself known to a member of the committee or group leader (we're a friendly bunch) and we will ensure you are placed in the appropriate group for you. Please wear a high viz bib, these can be obtained from Tri Running. You must be 18 years old or over to join us.

On your first session, please complete and bring a New Runners' Induction Form with you (this form is not a membership form - see below for this).

As a Club we offer up to 3 free sessions to evaluate whether the Club is right for you. For details on how to join the Club, please scroll down the page. You will need to complete a Membership Form.

If you do not complete the necessary WRR Membership Form after your initial 3 sessions this will mean you will not be able to continue to train with us, race as an affiliated runner or be covered by the Club's insurance.

Without/ little running experience - If you are new to the sport of running, we hold 6 week beginners sessions on Thursdays' to get you on the road to fitness, and give advice on how to develop you running ability.

Beginner sessions start on 9th May, 4th July, 5th September, 7th November and 9th January 2014. You can only join a beginners session on week 1, otherwise the Group would have progressed too much for you to join.

If you would like to join us for one of the beginners sessions:

» Just turn up at 7.15pm and make yourself known to a member of the committee or group leader (we're a friendly bunch).
» Wear a high viz bib, these can be obtained from Tri Running.
