The Introduction to Running Course is taking place over 8 weeks on Wednesdays from 22nd April to 10th June at 6:45pm from TLC car park. We’ll celebrate your progress with a group parkrun and medal presentation on Saturday 20th June Cost: Just £10 for the full course!

If you want to be a Beginner’s Champion:

If you are able to support the next course on 2 or 3 evenings that would be great. We need 2 or 3 people each week.  Please fill in this form so that I can put together the rota. Without your help it is not possible to run the course. Participants are always very grateful for the support (as am I!)  https://forms.gle/Wv9sawnMM9R5Eok16

  1. Club 10km Road Race Championships Thursday 4th June 19:30

Race HQ will be at the Sailing Club and this race will also be part of the Pete Mainstone Challenge.  Rehydrate afterwards.

  1. Weston 5 Mile Prom Run Thursday 21st May and rehydrate afterwards

We’re heading back to the seaside! Mark your calendars for a club trip to Weston-super-Mare for the Weston Prom 5-Mile Race, which will form part of the Pete Mainstone Challenge. Last year was a brilliant evening with almost 40 Thornbury Running Club runners making the trip down the motorway. The club will pay for your entry but you must enter yourself under Thornbury Running Club and claim your entry fee back.

Entries for the May race will open after the April race on 9/4/26, so keep an eye out for further details. We’ll let you know when you can enter.

As tradition now dictates… we’ll also be bringing along some well-earned post-race snacks and drinks so we can refuel and rehydrate on the prom.
