Training Runs

Club runs are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting at 7pm, from the Nailsea and Backwell RFC. 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 starting at 8.30am, from the Queen’s Road/Trendlewood Way/Station Road junction, Nailsea.

Feel Good Fridays

The first Feel Good Friday run around the Tytesfield Estate went really well and had excellent feedback. The runners, lead by two members from Nailsea Running Club, enjoyed a sunny, but a very muddy, 3 mile run. Some comments left included ‘Wonderful! A great place for a muddy run with like minded people!’ and ‘Beautiful weather and scenery. Friendly group. I will come again and tell my friends.’ Runs start at 10am and cost £3. Call 01274 461964 for details and to register.
