Welcome to Purbeck Runners

Meet at the Mowlem, unless we are at a race or having one of our ‘Out and About’ meetings (check the calendar). Runs leave at 9am so arrive in plenty of time.

Sunday is our ‘long run’ day and we will usually do a minimum of six miles and often do a lot more! Therefore please don’t choose Sunday for your first club run if you aren’t confident that you can cover that distance. There are normally opportunities to cut back if you don’t want to run as far as the planned session that day. If you are not up to six miles yet, you are still, of course, very welcome to try the club on a Saturday or a Wednesday.

After the runs we meet in Fortes for a chat and a coffee. In the summer we often go for a paddle after our stretch and before our coffee….beats an iced bath any day!

The Sunday session is run at a sociable pace and nobody gets left behind. It’s very friendly and lots of fun. It’s always a good idea to check what’s available each week via the Forum.

On Wednesday evenings we meet at Beach Gardens Pavillon at 7pm with Announcements and ‘warm-up’ at 7.05pm.

We have a number of different groups available to suit all abilities.

You are free to dip in and out of the groups as necessary, for example if you are recovering from a race or perhaps injury you may need to drop down from your usual group for an easier run.

If it is your first time at the club, and you are unsure which group to run in I would recommend that you start in a group that you could comfortably run in and work your way up.

If you are in any doubt or need more information then please come and speak to Paula Lawton-Archer (Club Chair and Coach) who will assist you with finding the right group.

Please allow plenty of time for this if it’s your first time.
