Who are we?

We are a friendly and enthusiastic running club based in Brackley and open to our surrounding villages. Our club comprises of members from a variety of ages and abilities, from 18 years and over.

We meet for runs twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, normally meeting at 6:50pm at Brackley Leisure Centre (BLC) and aim to start the run at 7pm, typically lasting an hour. However we do sometimes meet elsewhere in Brackley or surrounding areas, so keep an eye on our social media or website for updates on where we will be meeting.

We also occasionally have track sessions which are held in Banbury (further information on our website). We hold a variety of sessions including paced runs, hill training to speed work and more. We also offer a gentle pace group (GPG), all we ask is that you are able to run 4 miles at an average pace of around 10-11.30 minutes per mile.

What to expect when you turn up to a session

You will be met by one of our friendly session leaders and other members of the club. We will go through a group warm up and then we split into different groups depending on abilities and begin our run. We tend to all meet up at the end of the session and do a cool down and some stretches.

“Incredibly supportive and friendly club for runners of all abilities. I came to the club having a few parkruns under my belt and have now run several half marathons and one full!”

“Best decision I ever made!”

“The best group of people for putting the world to rights, eating cake and even going for the odd run with”

“Great to clear the head after another manic day!!”

“It's been a great way to meet people locally because I'm new to the area, as well as providing structured training that I have dipped in and out of.”

“I've run in a number of races over the last year and the support from others in the club who have finished ahead of me at the finish line has always been so lovely.”

“There's no pressure to be able to run fast or complete lots of marathons, and I've loved the cross country runs and the socials too.”
