The running section is a fun group of runners of mixed ability. We have runners who just want to run at a gentle pace and for no more than an hour to some which are happy to push themselves and run without talking and all the levels in between.
We meet around 6:50pm at Barnt Green Sports Club. We set off at 7pm, running for approximately one hour, aiming to all be back for 8pm where a post-run drink at the clubhouse is available, along with shower facilities.. The first Monday of each month is Curry Night.
Throughout the year we hold social running events such as a Mulled Wine run at Christmas, a Halloween Run, mystery tour, summer handicap run, etc.
We run distances from 3 to 6 miles come rain or shine.
Whichever pace you want to run at we have a group for you to run in, so you never run alone. Many our runners meet on an informal basis to run on Saturday or Sunday mornings and these are usually organised on a weekly basis.

We advise for your own safety and enjoyment, not going-up-a-group unless agreed with run and ride leaders. The list indicates progression through Groups 1 > 5, including average speeds and distances at main club sessions and are indicative of a normal – not unduly flat or hilly – route. But routes and terrain can vary.
Our volunteer Run and Ride Leaders try to ensure your runs and rides are safe, enjoyable, and paced such that groups can start and finish together.
Please adhere to their advice and ensure they are notified if you have a problem, feel unwell or intend leaving the group early.
Runners and Riders should also adhere to Chuggers & Chaingang Group Running and Riding Protocols.
