Start your journey with Springwell Running Club!
Joining a running club is a good idea, whether you are a beginner or have been running for years. Running with people makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable - you can compare notes and keep each other going. The benefits of running with a club include:
you have company and it makes running a lot more easier.
if you want to improve you can be given tips, do structured training sessions and be encouraged to run faster by those who have experience.
you are motivated to go out for a run because you are with other people.
you will make a new group of friends who understand all the joys and problems of being a runner!
racing becomes a much more enjoyable experience as part of a club with your clubmates there to support and encourage you.
You will find that our club members are very supportive of a new runner and we attempt to cater for all abilities.
