Run club in Welwyn Garden City
Garden City Runners is a community running club in Welwyn Garden City for runners and joggers of all abilities aged 18 and over. Sessions include group runs split by pace, interval speedwork and a track session, with routes around Welwyn Garden City in winter and off-road around Tewin and Panshanger Park in summer. Group runs are structured so no-one is left behind and typically last about an hour.
Tuesday group runs meet 18:20 for an 18:30 start at the Dance Studio, Ridgeway Academy, with groups from a 5k social (gentle pace for new runners or those returning from injury) through 7k, 8k, 9k, 10k and 11k groups at paces from roughly 7.30-9 to 5-5.30 mins/km. A Tuesday interval session at 18:30 focuses on speedwork, with the location emailed and posted on Facebook a few days beforehand. Thursday group runs meet 18:20 for 18:30 outside the library at Campus West (what3words eager.bliss.stuff) with 5k social, 7-8km and 9-10km options, and a Thursday track session at 20:00 at Gosling has four pace/distance groups with group leaders and a chief coach.
