IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Due to the current COVID-19 situation club runs will follow these guidelines with this risk assessment

Regular Events:

Main club night - Tuesdays 7.15pm, Aldridge Stick & Wicket - details
  
See club page for information about our normal regular runs. 
  
​We have a rota to ensure there is plenty of support on Tuesday runs, with back markers and 'musterers'.  Click here for the current rota and contact Jo Yarnall to volunteer for future sessions.  NB whilst we are running in small groups we ask groups to stay together, as there are no back markers or musterers.

Parkrun every Saturday morning.  Photos courtesy of Ron Reynolds.  Please note that if you are planning a tourist parkrun any week you are advised to check the parkrun cancellations web page beforehand.  NB, whilst parkrun is not happening you can now take part virtually in not parkrun.

The lists below include races that we know about, either local or that our members have enjoyed in the past.  Where possible the entry is a link to further information/entry details or results. If you are taking part in a race that is not listed here please email details so they can be included for others.  Check the race folder on club nights for entry forms.
