Barrow Runners

The Club was started in 1986 by a group of enthusiasts from Barrow village. In the last few years, the Club has grown steadily with members from the Soar Valley villages, Loughborough and Charnwood villages. Barrow is a member of the Leicestershire Road Running League, British Association of Road Runners and UK Athletics through affiliation to Midland Counties Athletic Association.

We partake in nearly all of the local races... and some not so local.  Regular trips include the Race the Train, Northumberland Coastal Run and the High Peak Relay. It's also not unknown for our runners to venture into Europe for a marathon.

As well as running, we organise regular core strength sessions, a triathlon section that likes to mix up the running with some swimming and cycling - with a "chain gang" operating on summer Wednesdays and then there are the social events which usually involve a modicum of alcohol! 

Barrow Runners welcomes any abilities from relative beginners upwards. There is a separate junior membership. The Club meets every Tuesday and Thursday in the front of Humphrey Perkins School, Cotes Road, Barrow at 7.00 pm.
