Club Training:

Our main training night is Wednesday, but we also have other training nights on Mondays and Sundays: coaching sessions are held on Tuesday evenings too. During the Summer we make best use of the local Parks and trails in the Forest of Avon, while in Winter we use a variety of well lit routes around the City.

Facilities available on Wednesday club nights include: changing; showers; sauna; bar; kitchen selling hot meals, so please come prepared to make best use of what we can offer you!
