Braintree and District Athletic Club actively promotes running for all in the community, and to this end we have a dedicated Road Running section within the club (track and cross country athletes can run on the road too!).
Our Road Running section welcomes athletes of all standards, from beginner to experienced runner. We recognise that road runners look to gain different things from the sport, such as social running, general fitness, doing the London Marathon, or participating in the Race For Life.
Our team of experienced male and female, UKA Level 1 to Level 3 qualified coaches will support you as an individual and to ensure your needs are met. When you come along, our coaches will work with you to help you achieve what you want out of running.
We try to generate a friendly, sociable and safe environment for all our runners, and most of all, we encourage respect, equality and support for everyone. The club meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays for varied training sessions, and we encourage groups to meet for runs at other times to suit their own needs.
Running is great for fitness, well-being and also for meeting new friends. Come and give us a try, and you will be made very welcome.
