Both adults and juniors are welcome to try a couple of training sessions before joining.
Please email Caroline on
membership@elyrunners.co.uk to find out more and to book a place on a suitable session for you.
There is no requirement to come to every training session.
Members select and book the training sessions that suit their running goals and busy lives.
We also run regular beginners courses for adults – a 10 week structured programme that enables you
to progress from little or no running to a 5k.
Contact Justin on beginners@elyrunners.co.uk
to find out when the next course is starting. There’s no obligation to join the club after
the course, but if you decide to do so there’s a big discount for you.
