The weekly Brough Park Running Club event is a multi-distance walking / jogging / running event held in Brough Park in Leek Staffordshire.
The programme is for anyone from those who want to start to get fit using the Couch to 5K approach or seasoned runners who want a new challenge.
Unlike other similar events you can walk, jog or run any of the 5 distances (950m, 1.6K, 2.3K, 3.65K or 5K) - attending the event and changing distances as and when you desire - so there is something to suit everyone.
Who can take part?
Anyone.
We have attracted a wide range of ages from 1-year-old pushed along in a buggy to those of 80-years-old taking part; all of varying abilities but enjoying meeting up for an outing around Brough Park.
We monitor weekly progress, publish results, on the day photos and an event report on our Facebook page and partially via the Leek Times & Moorlands Echo newspaper.
How do I take part?
It's very simple.
Then turn up at the main Brough Park gates at 8:45am on Saturday morning of your first outing and collect your personal timing chip.
Meet lots of other members of all abilities who will be happy to show you the way.
That’s it!
