Witney Road Runners

ABOUT US

Founded in 1985, the club has approx. 200 members. Although we have some serious

runners who compete (and sometimes win) local running events, we also have a large

group of members who turn up simply for the opportunity to get fit, meet new people

and attend our social events.

WHERE AND WHEN DO WE MEET?

We meet and run from The Windrush Leisure Centre every Tuesday and Thursday

evening. On Tuesdays we meet at 6.45pm at the Leisure Centre entrance and on

Thursdays we meet at 6.45pm upstairs in the Sports Bar.

WHERE DO WE RUN?

Tuesday: This is an ‘Efforts’ session – these runs are designed to increase stamina

and speed. These are shorter sessions consisting of short sprint repetitions at various

locations in and around Witney.

Thursday: There are 4 different routes usually ranging from 3 – 10 miles in and around

the Witney area and afterwards we meet in the bar for a drink and a chat - which is a

great opportunity to get to know everybody!

During the summer months runs include sections of footpath, bridleway and other offroad

traffic free routes. In the winter months runs follow well lit roads for safety

reasons.

THAT’S GREAT, BUT I’M WORRIED I’LL BE LEFT BEHIND…

We aim to group you with runners of a similar ability so no one gets left behind. If you

are able to run for about 30 minutes continuously, either outside or on a treadmill, then

you should have no problem joining the sessions.

I FANCY HAVING A GO AT A RACE, DOES THE CLUB COMPETE?

There are 2 leagues within the club: The Short League (runs from 5 - 10K) and The

Domestic League (runs from 5K up to Marathon). The club also encourages members

to compete in many other events, although there is no pressure or expectation on you

to take part in any event.
