ABOUT US
Birstall Running Club meet at the Co-operative Sports Ground, Birstall Road, Birstall, every Monday and Friday evening.
On Monday nights we run at 6.30pm, Friday at 7.00pm. We have male and female changing rooms where you can change and take a shower, you can also leave your bags as the changing rooms are locked during the run.
We usually split into 3 or 4 groups according to the level you are at, the fast, medium and slow group. We have also recently started a Run/Walk group which is proving to be very popular with new people who don't want to feel pressured into running for the first time with a group and getting left behind. Our routes are varied but mainly around Birstall in the winter and of course we are 5 minutes away from the Birstall Lakes which are very popular from April onwards.The distances vary also, Monday is a longer run of an hour or more while Friday is generally 45 minutes.
After the Monday run most people have a hot shower and congregate in the adjoining social club where drinks are very reasonable and we have a natter and a good laugh. Now and again we have a quiz night and a fish and chip supper. On a Friday night we head off to the Legion in Birstall or the Mulberry Tree.
We take part in the Leicester Road Running League races throughout the year and the Derby Runner Cross Country series in the Winter. We also enjoy the annual Round Leicester Relay. Have a look at some pictures of us at our presentation night.
