As a club our base is Hereford Leisure Centre on Holmer Road, Our Tuesday & Thursday session are our popular Couriers Clubrun Session – We usually have 4-5 groups over a mixture of distances and paces on offer. On a Monday or Wednesday we have our weekly speed session which is available to all members and involve track, hills and road reps.

We are far more than a running club, we have many socials throughout the year including the AGM, many of these events involve a few drinks – they are pretty popular amongst our club members & a great way of making new friends.

As a club we organise a series of races which includes the Christmas 10k, a cross country race (part of the Herefordshire Summer offroad League) The Jon Ward 5k memorial race & we are very proud of our 3 race 5k Series on one of the flattest road courses in the UK, We encourage our runners to take part & make the most of running in these races & for any reason you don’t we always have marshalling duties which need filling.

We have a number of ways members can input into the development of the club, we have open club meetings and a very active facebook page as we feel the input of our members is key to the progress of the club.
