Are you the owner of Hogweed Trotters Running Club?
Roger wishes to extend a warm welcome to everyone from the running community to the Hogweed Trotters Running Club, based in Bristol. Started in 2000 by a small, energetic group of runners, the club now boasts over 100 members, including some of the founders.
At Hogweed Trotters, Roger aims to foster a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all runners. Whether you're just starting out with a goal to improve fitness, training for a 5k or 10k, eyeing a marathon, or even considering Duathlons and Triathlons, you'll find support here.
The club strikes a perfect balance between enjoyment and challenge. Members are encouraged to push their limits while having fun. You'll find many participating in events like the Bristol and Bath Half Marathons, the London Marathon, and the local Hogweed Trot 10k.
Training and social runs are held twice a week on Wednesday evenings, Friday evenings, and Sunday mornings, taking place along the scenic routes of the Cotswolds, no matter the weather. The “sheep dogging” policy ensures no one is left behind, making sure everyone feels included and safe.
For those interested in joining, Roger invites you to attend a session as a guest first. The Hogweed Trotters Facebook group is a great resource for updates on upcoming runs. Club coaches are also readily available for more information, or you can simply pop by on a club night to experience the atmosphere.
To fully enjoy the benefits, register as a member and pay the membership fee. Hogweed Trotters also takes part in the local Parkrun at Chipping Sodbury, where members are active as both runners and volunteers.
Stay updated with the latest news and events through the Hogweed News section on the website. The club calendar lists all upcoming runs, races, and social events.
As Roger Bannister once said, “No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable.” At Hogweed Trotters Running Club, Roger and the team believe in that indomitable spirit and aim to provide the platform for your growth and success.
