Training Sessions

If you are interested in joining us, just come along to any of our training sessions, we’ll make you very welcome. You don’t need to pay anything or sign up as a member first. Come along for a few sessions and try us out with no obligation, we’re sure you’ll like us!

If you have an email address it would help us if you bring a note of it with you. This will enable us to email you a welcome pack, which contains information about the club, and a membership form that we hope you’ll want to fill in! But don’t worry if you haven’t got an email address, we can give you a paper copy.

Baildon Runners Absolute Beginners Group.
Aimed at the complete beginner and those relatively new to running (but all are welcome to attend!). Sessions last for one hour and are based in and around Roberts Park, the canal towpath and riverbank trail. Free car parking, café and toilet facilities. Contact ian@baildonrunners.tk for further information or just turn up!

Sundays 10:00am. We meet at The Titus Salt School car park, Higher Coach Road, Baildon.

Beginners and improvers group
We cater for everyone - from those who are just starting to run from scratch, to those who have done some running but who now want to experience the companionship and support of fellow runners. All welcome (including more experienced runners)! More often than not some of our experienced club members also come along to meet up and go on a longer run.

Tuesdays 6:30pm. Meet at the corner of Heygate Lane and Jenny Lane  at the end of the narrow lane leading to Baildon Cricket & Rugby Sports Club, Jenny Lane, Baildon

Structured training
We alternate between hill, fartlek [this is a Swedish word that translates as ‘speed play’] and speed sessions. In the summer months we also have ‘field sessions’ that are designed to improve your suppleness and agility by using equipment, such as hoops and low hurdles. These different sessions might sound quite serious stuff but please don’t be put off, everyone is very welcome. We will cater for all who want to improve their running.

Thursdays 7:00pm.  Meet at Baildon Cricket & Rugby Sports Club, Jenny Lane, Baildon

Main club night  meant as a social night with the emphasis on enjoying running in groups.

In summer we generally run off-road over the moors. We divide into different running groups according to ability. The separate groups regularly re-group to ensure that nobody is left behind.

In winter we keep to well-lit pavement routes. Again we divide run into groups according to ability and these groups regularly re-group to ensure that nobody is left behind.

Showering and changing facilities are available, free of charge, on Thursdays.
