Title: Running clubs in and around Marple
Post by: movingtomarple on January 01, 2008, 08:29:16 PM
Does anyone know of any running clubs or groups that get together regularly to train and enter local events?  Am interested in road/fell (maybe)/trail running.

MTM I run for Stockport Harriers who  train at Woodbank Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
It's a friendly club which caters for every ability from begineer to the more serious athlete.
Quite a few of us have just started our London marathon training.
Feel free to contact me and I will gladly show you around

Thanks for the responses. I didn't realise that Woodbank Park was so near to Marple, so i might give that one a go. just need to make sure i can get there in time from working in Manchester, but should be ok having looked at the training times.  Thanks for the offer of an introduction - leave it with me for now and i'll probably get in touch soon.

thanks again.

More "cunning running" than straight running but Manchester and District Orienterering Club meet and train locally.
