Guest Runs

Whilst the light holds, the club encourages members to invite the club to run their favourite 5 to 6 mile training runs. This is a great way to enjoy and explore the local countryside around Stowmarket.

Check back here for the dates of this years runs.

7 mile and 4.5 mile routes

If no guest has been planned we meet as usual at the Mid Suffolk Leisure Center and use various scenic routes across the countryside.

Trail Runs

These take place on a mix of trails (obviously), footpaths and tracks and some have a small element of road running. You follow a pre-planned route using a set of clear written instructions (no map reading skills needed).

Trail runs start and finish at a pub. To take part just turn up at the pub any time after the published start time (generally between 6:30 and 7:30).

Trail runs are best done individually or in small groups of up to four people so you all get a chance to do a bit of navigating.

The benefits are - you get to see bits of countryside that you would not normally see. There�s no need to worry about ability. With written instructions you can run at your own pace with people of a similar ability.
