Run club in Hove
Brighton & Hove Women's Running Club (BHWRC) is an England Athletics affiliated club for women aged 18 and over, running in the local area for more than twenty years and with over 150 members. Runs are volunteer-led and take place most days of the week, ranging from short 5km out-and-back routes to longer off-road runs, alongside coached training and fitness sessions. Sessions are described as chatty and sociable, with options to run at different paces and distances, and beginners or returning runners can start with one of the club's courses.
Weekly programme includes coached Monday night training (speed, intervals or hill reps, small groups of up to 12 runners per coach), a Tuesday morning 5k jeffing run/walk from central Hove, Wednesday early morning seafront run (around 8km with shorter and slower options) plus a Wednesday evening coached interval session, Thursday club night group runs of 3-7 miles (5-11km) from central Hove with a 4.2 mile (6.7km, shortenable to 5km) loop course on the first Thursday of the month, Friday early morning seafront run and a monthly evening Run to the Pub social run, Saturday long run training on the Downs (often trail, with run/walk options) and a 7.3 mile Shoreham Farmers' Market run on the second Saturday of the month, and a Sunday off-road run of 5-10 miles. Members also run or volunteer at Sussex parkruns, and ad-hoc runs are posted on the private Facebook page, Eventbrite and WhatsApp group. Membership costs £43 a year (including £23 England Athletics affiliation) and runs from April, with a possible reduced joining fee for those joining mid-year. Prospective members must be over 18, are advised to be able to run 5k comfortably, and can attend a trial run on a Thursday evening in central Hove by completing the guest runner form; dogs are not permitted.
