Our Weekly Club Runs
Rotherham Running Club is about may things, but first and foremost it's about being part of a positive and social community of people.
​
We support each other and train together, with everyone developing their abilities and reaching their goals.
​
If you’ve completed our Runspiration programme or run regularly already, then our social runs are suitable for you. Come along and there will be a suitable group for everyone.
​​​​​
Tuesday Roaming Runs
On our roaming runs, we meet at 18:30 at a different venue each week across the Rotherham area.
​
Each week's meeting point is shared to our Facebook page, and can be found here on the website, right up to the end of May.
​
We have a range of groups covering different distances and are suitable for people of all abilities, with absolutely no pressure.
​
There is often a head-torch option too, dependent on turn out and availability.
​
These runs are at a social pace with an optional drink afterwards in a local establishment.
Runspiration
On a rolling 8-week programme.
Location: Herringthorpe Stadium
Time: 6:15pm meet for a 6:30pm start.
£2.50 per session
​
If you have ever fancied running but never had the chance, or have suffered an injury and need a gentle reintroduction this is for you.
You will be supported to run consistently from a standstill to your chosen distance at a pace that suits your fitness level and ability.
The new Runspiration programme will be on a constant 8-week rolling basis, meaning you can jump in and progress onwards at any point!​
​
Thursday Club Run and Track/Speed Sessions
On Thursdays, we meet at 18:30 at the Phoenix Sports and Social Club in Brinsworth for our social sessions, and at 18:15 at Herringthorpe Stadium in Rotherham for our track/speed session.
​
We have options for group runs at a social pace or speed sessions for all abilities.
​
We make sure to respect one another and motivate each other to achieve and grow our goals and of course - enjoy our time together.
​
Our track sessions will support you to run stronger, better and faster.
​
The track sessions are £5 payable directly to the stadium either by cash or card/contactless on entry.

Where do i run socially to suit my ability??
Often we get asked
"What will be suitable for me when attending a club run?"
"I’ve been running a while on and off"
"I’ve done a park run a few times around 35 minutes"
"I'm returning to running after a few years off"
"I’ve never ran and want to be able to run 5k or just use it for general fitness"
"I often run around 6 miles in the hour alone just want to run with others socially"
"I can run about 4 miles in the hour with a little rest here and there"
"I go to the gym and run/walk on the treadmill but I don’t think I can manage 30 minutes to 60 minutes run/ walk"
​
As a general rule for safety, the following guidelines would apply for current running or non-running ability;
​
Club run on a Tuesday and a Thursday -
5-6-7 miles around 60 - 70 mins - Group 1
4-5 miles steady pace with rest periods around 60 minutes - Group 2
​
Runspiration on a Thursday (Herringthorpe Track) -
Short and long term goals to run 5k to 10k for new or returning runners unable to yet run the above distances
​
We try to accommodate runners abilities by supporting our running community and relying on our fabulous volunteers to lead you safely so you can enjoy your run and meet other runners.
