Groups

We have divided club runs into 5 different groups to reflect the differences in speed and distance that suits you. In increasing distance, speed and hilliness:

  1. Our entry level group will typically cover around 4 miles / 6 km in around 70 minutes
  2. Around 6 miles / 10 km in 90 minutes
  3. Around 7 miles / 12 km in 90 minutes
  4. Around 7 miles / 12 km in 75 minutes
  5. Our fastest group will cover up to 10 miles / 16 km in up to 100 minutes. The routes will typically be hillier and gnarlier than the other groups.

All club runs are in accordance with EA guidelines. This involves recording who runs in each group (normally a photo) and taking emergency contact details for any non-members. See our policy page.
