Cheltenham Running Club was founded in response to increasing demand for running groups which educate, support and inspire their members.

We set up a progressive programme which takes members from one pace group to the next every 13 weeks.

Our Beginners groups have been extremely popular due to the emphasis on correct pacing and having a couch to 5k plan catering to those who have been unable to jog for as little as 30 seconds.

We now target popular events from 5k to Half Marathon so members get to warm up together, support one another at the events and take loads of photos with their medals at the end.

Personal best times are common due to the emphasis on training for long term benefits, not just to beat other club members.

We have four intake periods per year, when beginners and new runners get to try us out before deciding whether to join.

Our first online Beginner Runners Course was launched in 2017 in response to the demand for guiding people to 5k when they cannot attend club runs.

Our aim is to help more people enjoy their experience of running. Online educational courses will play a bigger and bigger role as technology improves.
