Welcome to the Nailsea Running Club website. We are primarily a road and trail running club catering for all abilities based at Nailsea and Backwell RFC where all NRC members have Social Membership.
Training RunsClub runs are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7pm, from the Nailsea and Backwell Rugby Club. Both nights include steady training runs, either on or off-road depending on the time of year. On Tuesdays there is also a more structured training session generally organized by "club-coach" Jim Stewart. On Sunday mornings there is usually a long run at 8.30am, starting at the Queen’s Road / Trendlewood Way junction, Nailsea.

Runners find
their Motivation
International
disability charity Motivation was delighted to learn last night that it would
receive a £500 donation from the Nailsea Running Club. Motivation,
a charity based in Backwell, is a small organisation working in developing
countries to supply much needed wheelchairs to those with a mobility disability.
Passionate about running and personal mobility, the running club’s Chairman
Clive Collins applauded the work that Motivation does to support disabled people
who otherwise would not have the chance to be mobile. More
than 20 million people worldwide need a wheelchair but do not have one. Without
a wheelchair that is designed for their practical needs, local environment and
lifestyle a disabled individual is unable to leave their home to attend school
or work, or even to participate in community life.
Motivation
spokesperson Lucy Tarallo said, “We were thrilled to learn that Motivation
would receive such a generous donation from Nailsea Running Club. Motivation is
a small organisation with an international reach and we do rely on donations and
grants to continue our vital work in developing countries. This donation coming
from such a local group is all the more special.” For
