The Club
We meet at 7pm on a Tuesday and Thursday evening at The Edge, which is Leeds University's sports centre. All abilities are welcome from complete beginners to the super speedy and there are up to 5 different groups running each time. Our experienced group leaders plan a variety of different sessions from easy routes to interval sessions and hill sessions.
Feel free to have a look around our site, you will find photos, race results and reports. You can also join us on facebook.

Group 1 – Tom Williams (for people who are new to running or can do 10k in about 75 mins)
