Club Training Runs, Speed Sessions and Races  
     
 

Training runs are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We meet at the Leisure Center on Hgh Street East at 7pm. We will usually run the route suggested in the calendar below, but this may be subject to change depending on the weather and who turns up. If you're planning on heading straight to the start point, then it's best to let us know beforehand.

On Mondays we have speed training, where we meet at 7pm at the end of Green Lane in Simmondley.

 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 we split into road and fell groups. 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 six miles, is a realistic level. Participation is free to members and occasional guests.

You should bring a compass and whistle, full body cover and during winter a good torch or headtorch. If you are unsure about equipment, there are experienced club members who will be happy to give you advice.
