  I have recently joined the club .  It has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself.  I was nervous at first, but everyone has been so welcoming, I felt part of the group straight away. The support, encouragement and genuine sense of community has helped push me further. I am fitter, more confident and look forward to my runs with the club. The sessions are fun, relaxed and suitable for all levels. If you are thinking about joining, do it, you won’t regret it.

  I have been a member of Paul Popham Running Club now for around six years.

  Prior to joining I had been a runner for many years and felt I needed to join a club to improve my running and to become part of a running community.

  The club was recommended by a friend and ever since the club has become a huge part of my life.

  From the club runs on Wednesday’s and Sunday’s, to meeting friends from club socially during the week.

  My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner! Running is a wonderful sport, without a doubt though, it is even better when you become part of a supportive, encouraging environment, whether you wish to improve your running or just become part of a lovely group of people.

  I joined Paul Popham Running Club in 2016, shortly after completing a ‘Couch to 5k’ course.  With the help and encouragement of the club’s leaders, I ran my first Half Marathon in 2017 – something I never thought I could achieve.

  I’ve been a member for over 10 years now, and I’m a leader myself too.  In that time I’ve seen my experience repeat itself so many times!

  It’s a great club for people who want a friendly, supportive and easy-going environment in which to develop their own running story.

  Although I’ve always played competitive sport and led an active lifestyle, I was never interested in running or joining a running club. That all changed in 2017 — and I’ve been here ever since. Since joining, I’ve achieved things I never thought I would, from marathons and triathlons to Ironman events. However, it’s not just about the running. The club has had a huge positive impact on my work–life balance, and I’ve made some true lifelong friends along the way. What really makes the club special is its members — the friendliness, support, and welcoming attitude towards runners of all abilities. It truly is a special club

  I started running during Covid lockdown and joined PPRC 12 months later. Very friendly and social club with coaches, leaders and members who help you achieve your own goals with no pressure. Feel fitter and healthier now than 30 years ago and at the same time achieved goals I would never have dreamt possible before joining PPRC!!

  What can I say but wow ! Since joining the club my running life has changed for the better. My times have improved so much, my fun and wanting to run has changed, and I now love running again. The support, kindness and love in this club is amazing and you’ll never find a more supportive club and one that cares about everyone. All I can say is if you’re looking for a club then this is the one and you never look back and love your running.

  Joining the PPRC gave me a sense of community along with a sense of support. One of the best things for me personally, is the meeting of like-minded people and making lifelong friendships.
