Emersons Green Running Club was created with the intention of providing a running club environment to the residents of the Emersons Green area of Bristol, but you don't have to be from Emersons Green to join us as we welcome anyone.
In Emersons Green, we are blessed with many tracks, trails, paths and cycle routes; we are going to put them all to good use!
We intend to bring together people who have a common interest in running with the aim of providing a basis for fitness and social activity and a group who can give support and motivation to each other.
Some runners greatly benefit from joining a group of like-minded people. Despite what you might think, running clubs are not just for serious runners. We aim to organise our runs in such a way that you will not feel intimidated or left behind. Joining a running club is a great way to mix with others with similar goals to you.
We meet every Thursday at the Pomphrey Hill Pavilion in Mangotsfield at 6.45pm and aim to run at 7pm returning to the Pavilion around 8pm at the latest.
We hire changing room facilities at the Pavilion so that we all keep warm pre-run in the Winter and have somewhere to store valuables whilst we are out running. It's an ideal meeting point as there is a public car park and access to many off-road paths and trails.
The 6.45pm meet up allows time for a pre-run briefing and the completion of a short disclaimer (for first time attendees only). Please note that we do not cater for under 16s.
All runners attending a run are required to be either paid up members of the Club or pay £1 per run with us.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Emersons Green Running Club currently has four coaches, one of whom holds an Coaching Assistant Qualification and three who hold Leadership in Running Fitness coaching licences all from UK Athletics. Two of these coaches hold positions on the Club's Committee which also contains a number of other experienced runners. In order to participate in Club running sessions, runners will be asked to sign a brief disclaimer and will take responsibility for their own safety and well-being whilst out running with the Club.
