We train on Monday, Wednesday & Friday nights, unless there is extreme weather, in which case check our Facebook page.
See the website calendar which shows the route planned and venue of each training night.
Also, most Sunday mornings there is something going on, be that races or just leisurely runs. These are arranged in our Facebook group.

SUMMER – April 2024 – September 2024
MONDAY
Time: 6:45 to run at 7.00pm
Venue: The George and Dragon carpark, Apperley Bridge – BD10 0PU. Structured session (hills, speed work – good for all abilities – including beginners – as it enables you to do as much or as little as you want to).
WEDNESDAY
Time: Meet at 6:15pm to run at 6:30 pm
Venue: The George and Dragon carpark, Apperley Bridge – BD10 0PU
Type of session: Usually two distances – a medium distance of around 6-7 miles and a shorter group of around 3-4 miles. A longer route of around 9-10 miles is also mapped if members want to go on that route – however this is subject to leader availability (members are still free to run the long run without a leader on the proviso that they know the route and report back to the leader when they have finished. The club can take no responsibility for your welfare if you choose this option.)
FRIDAY

Venue: George and Dragon carpark – BD10 0PU
Type of session: Shorter, social run of around 4-5 miles
SAFETY ON TRAINING SESSIONS – WHAT MEMBERS NEED TO DO:
1. Members should familiarise themselves with the route(s) for the session. This will be on the website in advance & explained at the commencement of the session. Normally, there will be a print-out of the route at the start of the session.
2. An item of high visibility must be worn for the duration of the run in Winter. This could include a flashing arm band, fluorescent strips on clothing and / or fluorescent coloured tops.
3. If you are not intending to return to base after the run, let the session leader know before the session starts.
4. If unsure of the route whilst out running, wait for the sweeper / leader to direct you.
5. If you are completely lost, try to make your way back to the base & check back in with the session leader. If you don’t turn up back at base after a reasonable time, the leader will contact your nominated person & will drive the route to look for you.
6. If you become injured whilst out running, tell someone, preferably the session leader, who will support you back to the base. We cannot guarantee having a qualified first aider out on every run. A first aid kit is available at base.
7. Inform the club if your emergency contact details change.
8. We also recommend that you invest in some ICE tags, which you can easily attach to your trainer and then your emergency contact details are easily accessible. The link for our own ERR branded ICE tags can be found here.
