New Members
We always welcome people who would like to join our club!
New members are always welcome. Thursday is our main training night. There is no formal Starter Group on these evenings but there are always a range of speeds and abilities graded into 6 groups. The sessions are shown on the website training page,together with the grading criteria. Note, however, that the distance can range from 4/6 miles. For your own health and safety you should be able to run these distances in 50/65 minutes (11-12 minutes per mile) in order to stay with other runners out that evening. So for those who have some experience of running, please just come along to the Wootton Community Centre, Curtlee Hill, Wootton Fields on Thursdays @ 7.15pm,make yourself known to a member of the committee and we will ensure you are placed in the appropriate group for you. We also require you to complete the New Runners Induction Form and bring this with you on your first session. You can have up to 3 taster sessions at a cost of £1.00 per session, to evaluate whether the club is right for you, then make a decision to join or not.
For joining information and application forms please scroll down the of the page.

BEGINNERS TESTIMONIALS
Nervous about coming along? Here are 2 testimonials about the experiences of a couple of new members:
Testimonial 1
After training and running the Daffodil 10K at Kelmarsh Hall in March 2006, a friend suggested I joined a running club.
Testimonial 2 - From Couch Potato to Pseudo Athlete
I started running in September 2002 when my then girlfriend decided that she was going to do the next London Marathon and needed a way to get herself fit. On the grounds that if she could do it then so could I, I joined in. We chose WRR, as when phoning all the clubs in the area they were the only ones who didn’t ask our mile times and seemed interested in having complete novices joining.
