We're just updating the website. Some bits will almost certainly need tweaking so do let us know !!!!
Welcome to Biddulph Running Club
We've been around since 1982 as a friendly social running club, affiliated to England Athletics.
From beginners to Park Runners, through to marathon and ultramarathon runners, we're a group of all sorts of enthusiasts. Come along, and see how far you want to go !
Fancy a social run, or owning that segment and beating your PB, you'll find a club of like minded runners.
When & Where ?
We meet at 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start on Tuesday and Thursdays at Biddulph Leisure Centre.
There's always a variety of other meet ups in mornings and weekends.
Runs usually last for 45 minutes to an hour around the streets of Biddulph in Winter, and then around the hill trails and country parks in the Summer.
Long routes and short routes provide options depending upon how far you want to go and by 'mustering' at various points, we make sure you're not running alone.

When it's raining outside, and the temptation of staying in and watching TV, running with a group will help get you out, and keep you moving.
The basic premise of the running club is that we can run for 5-6 miles without stopping, no matter what your pace but we do have 'muster points' where runners will gather together before hitting the next section. We make sure we're all together and a sweeper will double back for safety. Feel safe with the group, and stay safe.
A shorter route is also run which is usually between 3 & 4 miles.
On colder evenings or when the weather is poor, some of the faster runners may opt to avoid getting colder and will stick together as an operate group after the first muster point.
The first muster point is generally when we also have a group photo !
If you're not sure that you are quite at that point, the New to Running course is run annually to take you from the couch to 5 km over a 6 week period.
You might not believe it to be possible but many of our current runners have come through this programme and then gone on to achieve 5km, 10km, half marathon and marathon distance.
Lead from the front or have a chat, it's up to you.
