Fancy some competition – or just a friendly run? Throw on your club vest and represent the club in the GLCL or Gwent Leagues – both of which have some of the regions best runners up front (if you’re really up for a challenge) but equally have huge numbers of more ‘social’ runners back in the field. They really are great events.
Then, new for 2019, we have Spirits Parkrun – which you know can be competitive but you can walk it round just to earn some tea and cake if you like! Join us once a month when we head off to a nominated park run somewhere – club vests optional.
And of course, there are many local races to choose from. This page lists many of them for you – let us know if you think others should be added. Happy Running.
- GLCL road and cross County races – see here for more details
- Gwent League Cross Country races – also on weekend winter mornings.
- Spirits’ Parkrun – second Saturday of the month (unless otherwise stated.)
