Our group runs take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5am.  We meet at Teneriffe Athletic Club. The routes are shared weekly in our members' group chat, and we choose scenic and safe routes that are enjoyable for all.

Question 4

Is there a social aspect to the run club?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! We believe that running is more enjoyable when shared with others. After our runs, we often gather for a coffee or a casual meal, giving members a chance to socialise and build friendships. We also organise regular social events, like fun runs, charity events, and seasonal parties, making it easy to connect with fellow runners off the track.

Our resident run coach, Katie, also leads regular run clubs, including the Fishbowl 5k Club on Mondays at 6pm, Felons Run Club on Wednesdays at 5:45pm, and the Club KT x Shokz Walk Run Club on Fridays at 5:15am.
