The Woodbank Park Athletics Facility is home to the Monday Evening Senior Endurance Group, a regular event that takes place every Monday of the year (excluding Bank Holidays) at 6:50 pm. This group knows how to keep things exciting by switching up their location depending on the season.
During the months from mid-September to mid-April, you can find them primarily on the Track, with the occasional hill session to mix things up. Once mid-April rolls around and the weather starts getting nicer, they move over to Woodbank Park for most of their sessions.
If you're wondering who should join this group, they welcome participants who can run a 5k between 17 and 23 minutes. But don't worry if you're a little quicker or slower, they encourage individuals of all abilities to come along and join in on the fun.
In terms of fees, members of the group are charged £3.50 per session, while non-members pay £4.50. Of course, if you happen to have a track pass or a Stockport Leisure Key, you can enjoy a discounted rate. Don't worry about pre-booking either, just show up on the night and pay at the Honesty Box, conveniently located at the corner of the clubhouse.
Now, let's talk about the sessions themselves. The Monday Evening Senior Endurance Group always keeps things interesting, with a variety of themes for their sessions. You can expect timed pyramids, 400m runs, road lamppost shuttles, and various distances. They even throw in some challenging hill sessions to test your mettle.
