How good do you need to be to join a running club?

Some cater for all and some will say 5k in 30 mins. Look up your local ones and check out their website. Good luck I’m hoping to join my local one soon!

A good running club will have every type of runner from C25K learners up to marathoners and beyond. But you do have to do a little search and find the right one.

The first club I went to was too competitive and not very friendly so I didn't go back but the second one is completely different and they cater for all kinds of runners.

Ask around in running shops, search online and if you go to races, check out runners there. That's how I found mine 🙂

Depends on the running club... and the running session.

Most running clubs have different sessions for different levels, some even have C25K groups.

Not what you're looking for?
