Wow... with all the running opportunities throughout the week we need ONE day off to do the other things in life, like socialising, work, socialising, family, socialising, shopping, socialising, etc. Running tomorrow though!!... However, many of us now do a hill session, leaving Basildon Sporting Village at 7pm. All welcome.

Friday
Our main Club night, meeting at Basildon Rugby Football Club, Gardiners Close, Basildon, SS14 3AW, when we meet to run at 7.15pm. The choice is made between a faster group, or a slower session. The slow group (around 10min miles) has either a long (5 – 7 miles) or short (3 – 5 miles) route – but individual groups keep together. After the run you can have a shower before joining everyone in the bar for a social gathering and collecting the race entries that are available. In the summer months (April to end of August) we also meet at The Beacon, (top of Dry Street), Westley Heights, Laindon to run at 7.15pm, before returning to the Rugby Football Club.
