The Criffel and the Solway Firth

Dumfries Running Club


Who do we cater for…..
All standards and abilities catered for.
We are a mix of roadrunners, cross-country, trail & fells.
We have a healthy mix of ladies and men.
Beginners and experienced runners are all welcome.
If you are not sure come along anyway – we may be able to guide you.


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….
Club runs on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Meet @ 6.30pm for 6.45 start.
A beginners/slower group meet on Mondays @ 6.15pm for 6.30 start.
On the first Thursday of each month we hold a handicap race. After a series of six races a winner with the best three performances is rewarded with a tankard.


Where do we do it
In the summer we venture out on quiet country roads but on dark nights run under the streetlights in Dumfries.
We meet at Dumfries Sports Club, Nunholm Road, Dumfries. If you join the Sports Club you would gain:
Unlimited use of showers & changing facilities.
Access to the bar (licensed) where refreshments are available.
Access to our dedicated notice board with details of events and results.
