Ellesmere Port Running Club
If your brief is weight control, improve your fitness, upgrade from another sport, return from injury or your just another running nut, come to one of our official training nights held on Tuesday’s and Friday’s or one of the more informal training nights highlighted in summer/winter training. We meet at the Whitby Sport & Social Club at 6.45 p.m., runs commence at 7.00 p.m. So why not come along, no qualifications necessary, just the willingness to run or jog as you see fit. ALL runs will always have a back marker, so NO ONE is left behind! Don't feel guilty, this is a requisite of the club!
Starting Wednesday 18th May 2011 and continuing each Wednesday night (6:45pm start from Shell Club) until September 2011. All abilities welcome and the contact for this will be Gary Richards who'll be taking the sessions. Please, even if you can only run 200m, or run 1 mile, Gary will be on hand to offer advice, and if your ability improves to such an extent, you may be able to join the Tuesday/Friday night club runs as well. A considerable amount of our beginners from last year, ended up be able to run up to 5-8 mile and now run with the club on the normal nights. In 2009, this was our biggest success, bringing in a fresh set of runners (the majority being ladies), some of whom couldn't manage more than 200m without stopping, yet now, have moved to the Tuesday and Friday sessions running 5 mile. The club prides itself on beginners and all levels of running so PLEASE do not feel that you will be left alone, if you come down, meet some of the members and speak to anyone about either running with us for a few weeks or maybe joining you'll be made to feel friendly and welcome. From road racing to cross country to mountain runs, Ellesmere Port Running Club has what it takes to make you all feel welcome. Feel free to email for further information.
We also have a good social scene with regular none running events like BBQ's, Xmas parties and any excuse to get everyone from the club together. Many of the club members have made some of their closest lifelong friends at the club. From camping at the Race The Train event to travelling to Amsterdam as a team event for the half and full marathons, we pride ourselves on our team spirit. We recently ran our biggest team challenge yet, the Welsh Castles 2 day 20 leg race that separates Caernarfon and Cardiff Castle. This saw 20+ team members of all abilities travel over the weekend of the 12-13th June 2010 for team building, competition and socialising.
