The main training session on Tuesday evenings is open to all members. The Thursday session is by invitation only, please speak to the coaches for further information.
The Junior section is open to anyone from 9 to 16 years old. We have fully qualified coaches running each session to ensure child safety. From Easter through to September we train on a 400m grass track. The training sessions include sprinting to middle and long distance running. During the months from September to April, training is carried out on footpaths in the vicinity of the Old Grammarians site.
