To provide a healthy and friendly club for walkers, road and trail runners, and those that “would love to be” i.e. To be around supportive, motivating people where the forum is about companionship and not only around competitiveness.
3. To see friends and friends-of-friends go from “no exercise” to “walker” to “plodder” to “runner” to “racing snake”!!!
4. To all get together to achieve our personal goals of running various races.
5. Whether running or walking, where we are easily identifiable by the same kit or colours.
6. To plan together and be accountable to someone (should you chose to). This will definitely make you more successful in your desired goals and outcomes.
7. To have a once-a-week time trial where there is a platform for you to measure your own improvement. You definitely push yourself harder if someone is breathing down your neck! Time trials will have different distances, but with the same start and end point so that we can all meet afterwards.
8. To run off road on trails safely as a bunch and not as an isolated individual
9. To traverse and discover new routes together, or to share those you already have found but have no one to share them with
10. To set up achievable programmes with particular goals in mind
11. To have a base that we can start and/or end at – with a sociable drink – not necessarily alcoholic(!) – and a shower afterwards.
12. To set up a roster so that we know on any given day someone WILL rock up at a place and time for you to meet, so that if your regular running buddy gets sick, doesn’t mean you miss out too!
13. To keep each other informed of up and coming races and to share racing tips!
14. To know that there is a forum in which you can try find running numbers if you have entered a particular race too late, or if you want to pass your number onto.
15. To host our own running races under our own banner making a place for ourselves in the running calendar
16. Should we run races, to do so affiliated to a charity or cause of choice, whether it be through sponsorship per km or other
