Holme Pierrepont Running Club Email Us

The club was formed in 1982 and is one of the longest established running clubs in the Nottingham area. The original emphasis was on road running but we now also have an extensive cross country and fell running programme. The main focus is our Monday and Thursday training  sessions at the National Water Sports Centre.


Who are we?

We aim to cater for all ages and abilities. A few of us are fanatics running 6 times a week and entering 40-50 races a year, but most are people who enjoying running 2-3 times a week to keep fit. Most are looking to improve their running performance over time. We currently have around 230 members from 18-70+ with about 40-70 coming down on club nights. Just over 40% of our membership is female.


Competition

Not everyone wants to run races, but we encourage as many people as possible of all abilities to run for the club. No matter what your level, it could just make the difference! We participate in the Notts AAA Summer League and the North Midlands and East Midlands Cross Country leagues in the winter, as well as numerous other races.


Social Events

We like to think of ourselves as much more than a running club, so apart from making good use of the Water Sports Centre bar after Monday and Thursday night training, we have an active social calendar with a number of events throughout the year.


Long Distance Relays

Long distance relays on well known footpaths have been a popular part of the club since our first attempt, the Pennine Way, back in 1988. In recent years we have run the Offa's Dyke Path, Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, Southern Uplands Way, Hadrian's Wall Path, Cleveland Way, Cotswold Way, the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coastal Path. These are as much social as running events and an opportunity to enjoy some fantastic scenery along with the cameraderie of a weekend away.


Grand Prix Series

The club organises the Holme Pierrepont Grand Prix series, which always attracts a large field of both club and unattached runners.
