Run club in Bristol
Thornbury Running Club is a local club for adult runners of all abilities, from beginners and improvers to competitive club runners, with a minimum age of 18. Membership is over 200 runners aged from 20 to over 70, with a near equal split of men and women. The main club night is Thursday, when members run in five pace groups from 7 min/mile to 12+ min/mile from Thornbury Leisure Centre.
Sessions are the Thursday club night (steady run in pace groups), a Tuesday coached session that is either intervals to improve speed and technique or a steady short run, sometimes held at a local track, and Sunday long runs; the Tuesday time and location vary and are shared via the "TRC Tues Coaching" WhatsApp group. The club has England Athletics qualified leaders and coaches, enters local and national events from parkrun to ultra marathons, and fields a cross country team in winter. A nine-week Introduction to Running course for beginners runs twice a year (contact beginners@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk); a new course starts on 14 October. First-time attenders should complete the First Time Attendance form before coming along, and a month's free trial is suggested before joining. Hi-viz tops and head torches are required for all club runs. Social events include Run and Rehydrate, a Christmas lights and chilli run and a summer party. The club also organises three races a year: the Riverbank Rollick, Thornbury 10k and Oldbury 10 Mile. Contact membership@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk. England Athletics affiliated club.
