Welwyn Garden City's Premier Running Club
Our Mission: Fun running and sound race training for new and experienced runners
Garden City Runners is a club of active runners and joggers, and subscription is only £20 per year. Just come down to the Gosling Sports Park any Tuesday or Thursday evening at 6pm or 6.30pm and run with us. The 6pm bunch do around 8 or 9 minutes per mile on or (in the summer) off road, the 6.30pm group again run on or off road but at a slightly faster pace, and our quickest members tend to do the track or interval sessions which also start at 6.30pm.
Our Sunday run is a cross-country jog for about 90 minutes. We meet at the Campus West car park around 8.30am, except for the first Sunday in the month when the start is again at 8.30am but from the Panshanger FC ground in Moneyhole Lane. Alternatively, at 9.30am every Sunday there is a run of similar duration starting from the Gosling Sports Park.
We can help you get round the London Marathon, but we also do other road races including our flagship event, the Garden City 10, and in summer the Midweek Road Race League. In winter we continue with the road racing, but also compete in two of the local cross-country leagues, hosting a fixture of our own (which we like to think is of rare quality!) in December or January.
Social events vary from time to time, but we have at least one social evening a month, usually on the first Monday of the month at the
Welwyn Rugby Club. To check the latest details, click on "Fixtures" in the menu (above), then click on the "Latest Fixture List & Social Calendar".For a membership form, visit the membership page.
