We are a small, friendly, Essex based running club, affiliated to the Essex Amateur Athletic Association and to the Southern Counties Athletic Association, The Eastern Region of England Athletics, the Long Distance Walkers Association and Registered with the Trail Running Association. Our aim is to promote running for sport and pleasure, in all its forms, and to give help and encouragement to all, irrespective of their ability and we welcome second claim runners (unlike some other clubs)

At present we have 150 members. Our ages range from 10 to 75+. We have runners of all standards, from occasional joggers to competitors of a high standard. The club exists for you! To give you the opportunity of running when, where and how you want with like minded people. We take part in all types of competitions, fun runs, local road races, county, regional and national championships. We run on the Road, Cross Country, Fell, Track and Trail. We have our own club kit, in silver and black, for team events.
