We now have a permanent home base again at Staffordshire University (starting from 3rd March 2022) and are looking forward to getting back on track with regular running groups, with sessions aimed at regular runners and complete beginners. We will also have a weekly walking group, for anyone unable to run or who wants to improve fitness before starting or returning to running. We will be meeting in the new Catalyst Building at the Leek Road Campus. We will have access to a meeting point and space for pre-run chats and post-run stretching. Toilets will be available and can be used to get changed. There is a café in the building and some vending machines for drinks/snacks. We will have a monthly post-run social starting in April. Free parking is available on campus from 5pm. We recommend parking on car park 1 is immediately on your left at the mini roundabout as you enter campus from Leek Road. From car park 1, head towards the main buildings on campus. The catalyst building will be to your right and the entrance we are using is on the ground floor, looking towards the Sports Centre. In the first instance, club sessions will be held weekly on Thursdays, starting on Thursday 3rd March at 6pm. We will be starting a beginners group on Wednesday April 6th at 6.30pm. There will also be an opportunity to sign up to some free exercise classes on campus. Planning for other sessions is still being undertaken. As well as the club runs from Staffordshire University, there will continue to be additional official club runs at other times during the week, including week-days and weekends. They will be advertised via a range of different channels and members will be provided with options for signing-up / confirming attendance using SPOND (the club's booking app). New Members: if you are not a member, but would like to join or re-join, please complete the membership form and email it to us ([email protected]) or contact us via our contact form. The membership fee for 2022/23 has been set at £20 for new members. Once you get in touch, we will then send you details of payment instructions and invite you along to club runs. We will send you a code to link to the our SPOND app once you have confirmed you wish to join. Please see our FAQs for more information about how we run.
