We are a small, friendly club that is
growing quickly! With our 130th member
joining this year!
Our members come from all over the county
with a wide and
diverse background and as a result we have a running group that
will suit almost anyone - from our fastest ‘elite’ runners who
continually build bigger trophy cabinets to our successful
beginners groups. We also have an active junior section. No matter what your aims or goals are, whether
it is for keeping fit, losing weight, joining in our social
groups or running to be competitive, we can help!
Training sessions are
held
on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6.30 at the Old Grammarians
Memorial Sports ground, Sywell Road,Wellingborough.
Our Junior section meets on Thursday evenings at 6.30 at
the Old Grammarians Memorial Sports ground, Sywell Road,Wellingborough.
We invite anyone
to come and join us and you can run with us to see if you like us
before we ask you to join the club.
Tuesday sessions are generally
a long run night from anything between 3 and 10 miles depending on
group abilities and Thursday nights sessions are generally aimed
at speed/strength work.
History
The club was originally formed in
1992 by a group of runners to train for the London Marathon and
many of those runners are still with us today. The club joined
with the Old Grammarians in 1997 and has been growing ever
since!
As well as just running the club has
diversified, with members trying their hands at Adventure Racing,
Triathlons, Multi day events, Ultra marathons and any other crazy
challenge they can come across! We like to ensure that Wellingborough & District have a large attendance at nearly
all the local (and some not so local!!!) events and races!
Since 1996/1997 the club has also
been apart part of the Three Counties Cross Country league, which
is held each year over the winter months.
The saying goes……Work hard, play
hard! And the social side of the club more than reflects this!
With annual trips to our twinned club in Krov, Germany for the
midnight run on the Mossel, Adventure weekends to Longtown (South
Wales) as well as summer BBQ’s and all year nights out!
The
Wellingborough 5 Road Race
Since 1998,
the club has been proud to host our own event, the Wellingborough
5. Always held on the first Sunday of August at 11am
