About Victoria Park Road Runners

Our members range from complete beginners to those with years of experience. We pride ourselves on being a diverse and supportive running club with a friendly welcome and an encouraging ethos.
 
Our Tuesday interval sessions are held in various locations close to Scotstoun and on Thursdays we have group run options of 5k, 7k and 10k.  Our sessions are suitable for all abilities, and we believe in supporting and encouraging our members to help them achieve their running goals, through advice, friendship and encouragement.
 
We are affiliated to Scottish Athletics and Jog Scotland, and all our training sessions are led by qualified coaches and run leaders.

We know it can be a big commitment to join a new club, so please come along and join in for a few weeks, run with the group and see if we’d be a good fit for you, with no pressure to join.
During winter months please wear reflective or hi-viz clothing.
Our road runner groups are for 18 years of age and above.
 
Beginners’ programmes
 
If you are a complete beginner or looking to get back into running after a break, our Couch to 5k programme could be just what you are looking for!
 
Our C25K courses are for over 18s only.  We have three nine-week courses during the year, starting in January, April and August.  We meet at 7pm each Tuesday and Thursday at the Scotstoun track reception area.

We meet within the reception at Scotstoun Stadium (there’s a sign in book) before we warm up within the South West corner of the facility.  It’s always followed with some gentle stretching before we divide into groups of similar ability.  

We’ll have fast runners leaving the stadium to do a longer route and we’ll have slower runners missing out on additional loops.  The plan will be to have everyone warming up together, leaving the stadium together and arriving back for a cool down at the same time.

If you’re not sure we’re the right group for you, why not come along and meet everyone in person.  Then take a few weeks to think about it.  When you’ve made your mind up, we’ll be expecting you.
