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.
