If you would like to join us to try out some sessions, it’s best to come on a Wednesday when we all meet together and there will be lots of friendly people happy to help point you in the right direction! The tabs below outline the sessions.
As well as the coached sessions members also organise race recces, trips to races and longer runs in the hills, plus we have a women’s group who regularly meet for a social run.
For seniors we have a 4 colour guide to help new members decide were they may fit – it is a rough guide only and many members run in several different groups
Black Group: Sub 40mins 10k
Red Group: 40-45min 10k
Blue Group: 44-49min 10k
Green Group: Over 49 min 10k
Groups normally have a warm up run of 1-2 miles, some interval work, and a 1-2 mile warm down.

Social Run: About 10k. Meet on the canal path behind the Leisure Centre
For those who wish to work on their technique and flat speed. The social sessions are based around 5k of ‘effort’ with progression from 200m reps through to 1k over a 10 week block.
We meet on the grass track at Kirkbie Kendal School, and Kendal Green if the going gets too soft in the winter.
