Club Training Runs, Speed Sessions and Races  
     
 

Training runs are on Tuesday and Thursday evening at 7pm, from Glossop Leisure Centre. The distance and terrain covered varies according to the time of year and weather. Glossop's proximity to Kinder and Bleaklow puts us in an enviable position in relation to many other running clubs and summer runs are normally on the fells. During the winter however we switch to the roads. Safety of the group is a paramount factor. A turnback system is always used during the sessions to make sure the faster runners don't get too far ahead and we return as one group. It is generally accepted that some background of running is an advantage to get full enjoyment out of the organised runs. A fitness level, which includes running at an easy pace for five miles, is a realistic level. Participation is free to members and occasional guests.

Some evenings are set aside for more structured sessions or club events such as speed sessions, hill reps or handicap races. These are shown in the monthly calendars below.

Local races and Club Championship races are also highlighted in the calendar as well.
