Ilkeston Running Club
Ilkeston Running Club meets twice a week on a Tuesday and Thursday evening, at the reception of Rutland Sports Park, Ilkeston. The Rutland Sports Park has good parking facilities and a purpose built running track. Lockers and showers are free to use (£1 deposit) for club runners.
We range in age from 18 to 70+ and have many different standards of runner. We cater for everyone, from the runner who is looking for some extra motivation to continue training, to the more competitive runner who wants to test themselves at races. We have many women runners, some of who have been with the club for several years.
All newcomers to the club are made to feel very welcome and we always make sure no runners are left alone and are grouped with other runners of a similar standard.
The benefits of joining our club are many. Running with other people means that you will make many new friends and benefit from the security and wealth of experience that our members can provide.
Club membership entitles you to free race entry to approximately 10 races a year, discounts at local running stores and of course the a chance to wear the famous white vest with the red stripe around it.
Why not come along and try us out for a few weeks before committing to join? Contact us through Twitter or Facebook and we will ensure you are welcomed into the group on your first visit.
