We are a large running club based in Ashbourne, Derybshire with currently over 100 active members. The club has runners of all abilities - from recreational runners looking to improve their fitness through to those that run marathons and ultras. We regularly meet for informal training runs in the area and take part in local races. During winter some members run in the Derby Runner Cross Country series with the Shelton Striders Club and there is also an active off road/fell running group for those we like to run off the beaten track.
Ashbourne Running Club is affiliated to UK Athletics and England Athletics.
Training RunsThe club meets every Tuesday at Ashbourne Leisure Centre at 7pm.During the summer months we tend to enjoy the local area and many of the runs are off road and we also have an "Out of Town" run once a month.In winter the runs are mainly confined to the footpaths around the town that have amble lighting. We also try to have a special run once a month during the winter, ranging from Treasure Hunts to Orienteering.
Come along for a few runs and see if the club is right for you before you decide to join. Annual membership is £10 for adults. Remember membership will entitle you to reduced entry fees for most races. When you are ready to join please print off the attached membership form and bring it along to a Tuesday evening run.
