MonRoss-Trailblazers Running Club

MonRoss-Trailblazers Running Club A welcoming running club for both social and competitive runners in and around Ross on Wye and Monmouth Interested?

We started when a bunch of us met up at circuit training (Mike Bennett's classes) held at Monmouth Leisure Centre on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 7pm. Realising that we were all running alone, we decided to band together and form a very informal club. Running under the Trail Blazer's banner, we'll be running in events in South Wales, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and even over the river in Avon. We try to get out for an organised run on Saturday or Sunday morning, and maintain core fitness in circuit training. Club members run everything from 10k races to marathons, though mostly 10k to half marathon. We welcome new members, and we only pay £30 a year subscription to secure our membership of the Association of Running Clubs. Drop an email to us on [email protected]

Fantastic running from the squad at the Waun Fach Fell Race!

Huge congratulations to Rich Foster for charging home to an incredible 11th place finish, and to Rich Cronin for a brilliant run to claim 19th in a fiercely competitive field.

Taking on the brutal climbs and descents of the Black Mountains is no small feat—awesome work! 🏔️🏃‍♂️💨

🌳 Huge congratulations to Leah Marsden, who absolutely smashed the Westonbirt Arboretum 10K today!

​Leah crossed the finish line with a fantastic time of 1:00:21, taking on those stunning forest trails and giving it everything. We are so proud to see our club colors out there representing on such a gorgeous course.

​Brilliant running, Leah! 🏃‍♀️✨

What a glorious sunny morning for it! ☀️ parkrun Saturday brought out fantastic energy across the board, with Trailblazers stretching their legs at local favourites and touring further afield.

A massive shoutout to Richard Cronin, who blazed his way to P1 at the Forest of Dean parkrun! 🥇🌳

It was brilliant to see so many of our members out enjoying the sunshine, with plenty of family groups and furry best friends joining in on the 5k fun. Whether you walked, jogged, ran, or volunteered, you all started the weekend the best way possible. 🏃‍♂️🐕🏃‍♀️

From the Wyedean Relay to Tajikistan...

🌍 Huge good luck to Kieron Brown & Laura Lelievre heading out today for the adventure of a lifetime!

On September 2nd, they’ll be tackling the Great Silk Run in Tajikistan—a brutal, beautiful 200-mile, 10-day journey across Central Asia. But this isn't your standard race: it's an "unrace" with no competition or finish times, just pure grit, stunning landscapes, and nomadic exploration along the historic Silk Road.

We couldn't be prouder to see our club colors represented on such an extraordinary global stage.

🌲On Sunday 30th August, Grant White and Rachael Aitken took part in the Wyedean Ultra.

⛰️ This was a 56km event from Ross-on-Wye to Chepstow with 1173m height gain!

🥉 Shout out to Rachael for finishing as 3rd female overall in her debut ultra!

🎉 Well done both!

🌲 Some eagle-eyed viewers may have caught a glimpse on social media yesterday that MonRoss entered three teams into the Wyedean Relay.

🏆 MonRoss 3 were 1st in the vets category! (It's hard to believe that the cool kids are growing up!😂)

🥈MonRoss 1 were second overall in the event, losing first place to their friends at Parc Bryn Bach.

📝Full results will be shared on the Rogue Runs Facebook/website.

💚 Massive well done to all the runners who took part across all the stages. But also a heart felt thanks from MonRoss to the supporters.
The dedicated team that followed the event from Ross-Vegas at 8am until Chepstow in the early evening.

💐 Thank you to the race organisers at Rogue Runs- Cherry, Paul, Andy and all the other hard working individuals behind the scenes and standing out in the rain marshalling - it doesn't go unnoticed! 💚

🎉🥳 As alluded to earlier - the cool kids are getting older, but not less cooler!
This means we have had some big age category changes in our club. To celebrate this and the Wyedean Relay, Rob Potter and his wife Rachel hosted a BBQ post the event.
Thank you so much for having us over, even the wet weather couldn't dampen our spirits! 🍔🌭

Happy birthday to Graham Bell, Rob Potter, Martin Turner and Kieron Brown!
(Unfortunately Kieron couldn't be there last night... But that's another story. Stay tuned for a MonRoss exclusive!🏜️)
