A social running group based in Westbury Wiltshire

A Great Place To Run

We are a friendly bunch of local runners who meet a couple of times a week for a group jog in or around Westbury.

At every session there will be at least two separate organised running groups, each led by a qualified run leader. One group accommodates the faster and more serious runners and the other caters for those who prefer to run at a gentler pace. Each session lasts around an hour in total, comprising of a short warm up, followed by a steady run lasting approximately 50 minutes and finally some stretching to cool down and help prevent injuries. 

Twice a year we also provide a 10-week "Couch-to-5k" program for complete beginners. Come along on Monday's & Wednesdays @ 6:30pm inside the Leigh Park Community Centre on Leigh Park Way (near the Tesco Express).

The Beautiful Countryside Of Wiltshire

We're blessed to have such a beautiful and varied running "playground" surrounding us. Whether it's trails or roads, hills or flat. Our running routes take us up above the Westbury White Horse, around Dilton Marsh, across the fields to Upton Scudamore, to name but a few...

A Typical Evening with WRG

Join Our Runs

6:15

Arrival & registration

We meet in the upper meeting room at the Hall. The Hall is booked from 6pm, but people usually start to arrive around 6:15pm. There we register for the evening and pay £2. Then the run leaders for the evening will announce the different groups going out (normally a slower Green group and a slightly faster Blue group) and roughly where each group will be going.

6:30

Run starts

Run Groups head out and begin with brief warm up during the first 5 minutes of the run. During the run we run at the speed of slowest with the faster runners having the option to go ahead & looping back behind the group. This means that we remain effectively together for the whole hour.

7:30

Return to Community HALL

When we arrive back at the Community Hall, your run leader will take you through a 5 minute group stretch before ending the session.

My favourite time of the week (especially the skipping during warm-up).
Rich (Westbury)
The run leader talked complete tripe! You don't even notice you've run up a hill whilst listening to it!
