Dumfries Running Club
Welcome to DRC 2012! Our website is the Club's regular "home from home" e-meeting place where we can all stay in touch, know what's happening and when, where and with whom we can stretch our legs. We try to keep it current and informative and to add pieces of news that are of interest to members. We invite members to make it vibrant and enjoyable by contributing to it - the FORUM is so easy to access and use......... please try! Use the CALENDAR to see what lies ahead and read the Captain's Corner under The NEWS tab to get event details and registration information. Enjoy! ....... and have a great year of running.
What do we do….
Many members enter races but a lot of us don’t although we all run for fun. The emphasis is on companionship and enjoyment.
We organize two road races a year – The Holywood Stroll (5 miles) & the Dumfries Half Marathon. Various social runs are regularly arranged which sometimes involve a weekend away.
When do we do it…
The club meets on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 6.30pm for 6.45 start. Tuesday is a social club run (with various mileages available) whereas Thursday consists of trackwork, hillwork, or speedplay for those newer to speedwork. A beginners/slower group meet on Mondays at 6.15pm for 6.30 start.
On the first Thursday of each month we hold a 5Km handicap race. After a series of twelve races a winner with the best five performances is rewarded with a trophy.
Where do we do it…
In the summer we venture out on quiet country roads but on dark winter nights run under the streetlights in Dumfries. We meet at Dumfries Sports Club, Nunholm Road, Dumfries.
Anything else…
Why not try us without commitment and if you enjoy it.
