Running Forever Running Club

Running Forever Running Club Welcome to Running Forever Running Club. We are able to offer a range of benefits through our affiliation to England Athletics.

We aim to provide an inclusive, friendly, safe and supportive environment for all levels of adult runner in the Taunton area. Our main club night takes place at 6.30pm every Wednesday. Our groups run from different locations around Taunton, are structured according to distance and pace and need to be pre-booked. All groups run for approximately one hour. We are always pleased to welcome new people

on a Wednesday but we would ask that you can comfortably run at least 3 miles in an hour and join the club first. Our membership rates are kept deliberately low to try and be as inclusive as possible and you can join via our website. For complete beginners to running, we now have regular courses. The aim is to introduce the joys of running and to build confidence in a safe structured way. Our leaders at the beginners session all hold the England Athletics ‘Leadership in Running Fitness’ qualification and the goal is to progress runners to a level where they can move across and join in with our main club runs on a Wednesday. This session is ideal for those who have never run before or who feel they are unfit. As an added extra, we also have sessions on a Monday evening let by a qualified coach. There are also some longer organised runs at weekends, ideal for those training for half or full marathons. For those who prefer running off road, we have a trail run of about 6 miles every Tuesday evening and regular longer trail runs at weekends. Details of how to book a place on these will be provided after you join. RFRC is run by a small committee of enthusiastic members who give up their time voluntarily to ensure the club operates safely and effectively. The committee are voted in on an annual basis at our AGM (usually in April). All members are eligible to join the committee and we always welcome new ideas and suggestions. In addition, we organise two local events – The Humdinger and The Herepath. Both are growing in popularity and have earned their place on the local race calendar. Ensuring the success of these events requires a great deal of organisation and we rely heavily on our fantastic membership to volunteer to fill a number of roles including marshalling and timing etc. Welcome to RFRC – we hope you enjoy running with us!

👟 5k training is back!! 👟

⏳ Monday 20th July: the session will be a 5k time trial round Vivary Park to get your baseline time.

📆 Then we will do 6 weeks of training where our coach Sandra will post the sessions on our private members group every week and she will also do one of those sessions on Monday nights during our club coached session.

🏅 The following week (week 7 - 7th Sept), we will be back at Vivary to see if you have improved or you could enter the Yeovilton 5k on 9th Sept.

SUITABLE FOR ALL! There is no such thing as "too slow" as our club is totally inclusive.

Sign up for Monday night on the Run Together app. It is for RFRC members only so what are you waiting for? Join the club and join the fun! It's only £10/year membership to be part of our wonderful club!

🌲🌳 Trail Running: 10 reasons why YOU should ABSOLUTELY give It a GO!

✅ Pure fun — the kind that makes you grin mid‑run for no logical reason.
✅ Mind magic — switch off, tune in, breathe deeper, feel lighter.
✅ Body benefits — strength, stability, agility…
✅ Endurance boost — hills, uneven ground, varied effort = sneaky fitness gains.
✅ No pace pressure — nobody cares about your splits when you’re climbing a hill.
✅ Beautiful landscapes — forests, fields, coast paths, moors… nature becomes your playground.
✅ Gorgeous views — summit moments that feel better than any medal.
✅ Epic café stops — we are fuelled by cakes!
✅ Camaraderie — shared mud, shared laughs, shared “what on earth was that hill”.
✅ Trusted leaders — explore unknown paths without worrying about getting lost (hopefully!)
✅ Did I mention fun? — because it really is!

We have many trail sessions available during the week suitable for different abilities. Why don't you join us on our next adventure?

RFRC delivered a day to remember at the Ham & Lyme Ultra, with over 30 club members tackling the 50k distance and two determined runners taking on the full 100k challenge. Spirits were high from the very start as the RFRC crew gathered at dawn, boarding a coach to Ham Hill with a mix of ultra first timers, seasoned ultra runners, and loyal Ham & Lyme regulars.

What truly united the club was the milestone moment for Membership Secretary Peter Hall who lined up for his 100th ultra marathon. In a touching gesture, Race Director—and RFRC member— Dave Urwin of Albion Running arranged for Peter to wear bib number 100, a detail that set the tone for a day full of pride and celebration.

The weather brought heat and hard hills, but runners pushed through, rewarded with sweeping seaside views and impeccably stocked aid stations. Support along the course was constant, with RFRC members and families offering cheers, snacks, blister plasters and the kind of encouragement that keeps tired legs moving.

As runners descended into Lyme Regis for the final stretch, roadside supporters erupted into bell‑ringing, clapping, and joyful shouting. The atmosphere reached its peak when Peter Hall appeared on the seafront—greeted by a roaring crowd and a personalised celebratory cake marking his extraordinary achievement.

It was a day of grit, camaraderie, and club pride. Running Forever once again proved that whether tackling a first Parkrun, 50k or 100k, the strength of the club lies in its community.
