Who are we? Romsey Road Runners is an amateur running club. We offer a programme of training, racing and social events, and there is no pressure to do any more than you feel capable of doing. There is, however, lots of encouragement from like-minded people who understand the joys and pains of running.
Who can join? In our training groups, we welcome all runners aged 15+ years* with a wide
range of abilities, although we would recommend that you can at least jog 5km which is the
average distance of most training sessions and usually with some recovery breaks. If you’re
unsure what level you’re at go along to a local parkrun or, if you’re totally new to running, you
may be interested in the club’s approved C25K programme. *for under 18’s, please see
our constitution.
How much does it cost? Should you decide to join following initial trial session(s), annual membership including England Athletics membership for financial year 2026-27 is a total of £40 and the minimum club only membership fee for financial year 2026-27 is just £17 which covers our planned sessions, entry to CC6/RR10 races, 10% discount off running merchandise at selected retailers, tips and advice plus other ad hoc training and advice from external providers. England Athletics membership offers discounted race entry fees to its UK licensed events.
What do I do next? Please contact us to arrange a trial session or two and complete this form which provides emergency contact(s) and we can see how best to include you in training sessions. We’ll use these details for your membership record should you subsequently sign up.
