Nailsea Running Club

The Long Ashton 10k will now be held on 2 May 2010 so as not to clash with the Bristol 10k

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 Runs

Club 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.

NRC Members dig deep for needy Bulgarian charity

NRC presented £300 to a charity which raises money for an institution for adults with learning disabilities in Bulgaria.

Charity founder Pete Brady runs for the club and members decided to give the proceeds from one of their regular handicap runs to his charity.

Pete gave a talk for members on the work of the charity and was presented with the cheque by chairman Clive Collins and secretary Emma Smart. Pete said, We are grateful as we are such a small charity, we do not often have amounts like this donated."

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.

  “This donation forms part of the proceeds of the three races that we have organised in 2009. At a recent committee meeting it was decided that the club would donate £500 to Motivation to support its worthy efforts to supply mobility equipment where it is so desperately needed.”

 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.”
