Hermitage Harriers Running Club ... ! Our new website is coming soon !

We are a friendly & sociable running club based at the Hermitage Leisure Centre in Whitwick, Coalville, Leicestershire. We began life as a group of like-minded individuals who wished to make their running less of a solitary affair. Since then we have grown to a membership close to numbering 100 of varying abilities. We like to think we are a very social club and - for those who want to be and also a very competitive one.

New members are always welcome to join us for a training run on either of our club nights. We meet at the Leisure Centre at 6.45pm for a 7pm run on both Tuesday and Thursday evenings. On both nights we operate a Buddy Runner system for our novice runners - an experienced runner from the club will join the group or individual on their run to offer guidance to help them achieve whatever goal they may have, so don't feel you have to be a highly-tuned athlete to join us. We do also have a competitive side and many runners regularly enter Leicester Road Running League races and other events, although there are many who are content to remain purely social runners - whichever your preference you will always be made to feel welcome.

If you are interested in joining us please do not be shy - you can contact the club either through this site or via the Hermitage Leisure Centre's ever helpful staff who will be happy to point you in the right direction.
