About us

Founded in 1984, Wargrave & Twyford Runners is a small, friendly running club. We run on road and track and to spice things up, cross country in the winter. Club members' abilities range from competitive athletes to casual joggers, and the ethos of the club is to embrace the aspirations of all members at whatever level they wish to participate.  We have a strong community spirit with charitable donations from club events going to nominated local charities and schools.

 

We organize a weekly, weekday evening interval session and a monthly track training session and on Tuesdays we join in a local 5k run. Wargrave and Twyford Runners, in conjunction with Barnes Fitness, organize the Wargrave 10k which takes place in the village during the Summer, and is open to all. Throughout the year we have a number of club social running events including staggered jogs and a "Predicted Time" Summer event.

 

The club is a member of TVARC and TVXC which organize closed series 5K and cross country races, for which attendance is restricted to the local member clubs and their guests. Wargrave and Twyford Runners host one of the runs in the summer 5k series. Taking place on Tuesday evening (date this year to be confirmed), this is a fun evening that gets everyone involved. The winter series are cross country runs of various distances on a Sunday morning from October to February.  We are easy to spot in our distinctive blue and yellow kit. 

 

The club is England Athletics (EA) affiliated which offers members the option of EA athlete registration. To find out more information go to our membership page.

 

We have active club social media groups which we use publicize events and activities and communicate with each other.  With Bowsey Woods on our doorstep members of the club will be happy to suggest / guide local off and on road routes to any new members.

 

The club fosters a strong community spirit with an emphasis on encouraging involvement of all the family both in its social and athletic activities. New members of all abilities are welcome.
