Blackwater Valley Runners

About

The main club night is Wednesday. Runs typically last between 60 and 75 minutes, the shortest being around 4 miles and suitable for anyone that can run at least 5km. People usually choose a group where they can run at a relaxed pace and do some chatting on the way. In Winter we use the well lit roads around Aldershot, Farnham, Ash, Tongham, and Farnborough. In Summer we often venture off road.

There is usually the option of a Monday evening track session, a Tuesday session for speed work, a Friday session for hill training, and Sunday morning runs which are usually trail runs in the Surrey Hills countryside. Tuesday and Friday sessions are suitable for all abilities, and there are usually multiple Sunday runs at different speeds/distances to suit most abilities.
