Woodthorpe Huffers & Puffers

Woodthorpe Huffers and Puffers is a member-run running club in Woodthorpe, Nottingham, open to all abilities including complete beginners. The club says most members could not run for more than a minute when they started, and welcomes people of all ages, shapes and sizes. Runs take place on local roads and parks and sometimes in the countryside, with a social side that includes a monthly pub get-together.

The official club run is on Wednesday: a 3-mile run with a warm-up at 18:15 and a 18:30 start. Informal runs organised among members also take place on Monday evenings and Saturday mornings. All sessions start from Thackeray's Lane Park next to The Vale pub in Woodthorpe. The club is affiliated to England Athletics and is run entirely by volunteers. Annual membership is £15 for non-competitive runners or £35 for a competitive licence, which can give reduced entry fees for races such as the Robin Hood Half and the Great North Run. Newcomers can come along for a run before joining; there is a membership form on the website, a contact form, and an email address, woodthorpehp@fastmail.net. Members meet socially at The Vale pub on the first Wednesday of each month after the evening run. England Athletics affiliated club.
