Sudbury Court Running Club

Towards a healthier and more active lifestyle by becoming a member of Sudbury Court Running Club. Established in May 1999, the club provides a supportive and inclusive environment for individuals of all running abilities.

Sudbury Court Running Club originally started as a small group of runners who would meet informally each Tuesday for a run and social drink. It quickly grew in popularity, attracting members from various backgrounds and running experiences. The club took its name from the Sudbury Court Sports Club, where they initially met before moving to their current location.

The club boasts a membership of around 30 members and is affiliated with the South of England Athletics Association, governed by the British Athletic Federation (BAF). This affiliation ensures that members receive the benefits of being part of a recognised athletic association, including access to organised races and events.

Every Tuesday evening, the club meets at 7:05pm at the Wembley Cricket Club, conveniently located between Vale Farm and Sudbury Avenue. There is also a meeting point by the grass on Sudbury Avenue for added convenience. The club organises a social run of about 2 kilometres at a steady pace, accommodating runners of all abilities. After the social run, members have the option to split into groups and run various distances ranging from 4 to 9 miles.

The length of the run is a personal choice, allowing members to tailor their running experience to their own preferences.

The club predominantly runs on well-lit roads, but during the summer months, many members enjoy exploring running routes over Horsenden Hill, Greenford, and along the canal towpath. Free car parking space is available on-site, and ample street parking is also available.

To get in touch with Sudbury Court Running Club, individuals can email the committee at sudburycourtrc@gmail. Com. The committee is always ready to answer any queries or provide further information about the club and its activities.

Sudbury Court Running Club welcomes individuals of all running abilities, whether they are beginners, experienced runners, or simply interested in improving their fitness and health. The club offers a range of activities, including regular Tuesday and Thursday runs, as well as informal long runs on most Sundays. The club has adopted the use of the Spond platform to organise runs and ensure compliance with COVID track and trace requirements.

Joining Sudbury Court Running Club not only provides access to a supportive running community but also allows individuals to participate in popular running events.
