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? We welcome all adult runners across a wide range of abilities. As most of our training sessions cover around 5km (with recovery breaks), we recommend that you’re able to jog this distance comfortably.If you’re unsure of your current level, try a local parkrun to get a feel for your pace or if you’re completely new to running, you may be interested in the club’s approved Couch to 5K (C25K) programme – info coming soon for 2026.
