Adult membership
Membership is by calendar year except for cross-country only members who may join from October to the next September.
Tuesday Night Road Runs
We meet at 6.45 pm on Tuesdays at Tilsley Park. We start with announcements for upcoming social events and races, race results, and other club news.
If you are new, we will ask you how far and at what pace you want to run. Don't be intimidated! This is to ensure we place you with other runners of a similar pace. We want you to be comfortable!
Road run routes
We publish the Tuesday run routes in the member email newsletter on the Monday before. You can usually choose from 3 distances (the shortest is around 5k). All routes are available as Strava maps. View the winter routes and the summer routes.
We have several 'special' routes throughout the year and will publicise them in advance. In the winter, we have the occasional off-road head torch run (a head torch is required for these and trail shoes are recommended). These usually coincide with 'chip Tuesday'. There are always alternative road routes for these runs. In the summer, we run a series of 'river runs'. These are also off-road but are not technical and can usually be run in road shoes.
Before each run, we ensure everyone has a group of similarly paced people to run with.
Thursday track sessions
We have three track groups specifically for adults. They all take place at Tilsley Park on Thursday evenings throughout the year. The group you choose will depend on your goals, interests, and, in some cases, level of ability.
The coaching is free to club members, but a track fee is payable to Tilsley Park.
Races
We have an active race calendar as a club. Racing is a great way to stay motivated, get together with clubmates, and participate in various types of running. Also, there is usually cake! You can find more in our race section.
Many of the races on our calendar form our Club Championships. The club champs is an in-club competition open to all adult members.
Further advice
We post news and events (including social) on our homepage. In addition, our private Facebook group is a great way to find out what's happening around the club and keep in touch with other members.
Our qualified run leaders organise couch to 5K courses if you are new to running.

Parents of a young athlete
If you are the parent of a young athlete, you may have used your own email address for that membership account. Membermojo uses email addresses as account IDs, so you will need to do one of the following:
Use a different email address to create your own membership account.
