Members join BRR of all abilities and running experience. At BRR our Members are never labelled slow or fast. We say as a Member it is our time spent running and supporting each other that is the most valuable resource. Below are the main links you need to access our training schedules and to understand the types of run on offer. It’s best for our Run Leaders (RLs) if they know who is attending training. We ask that you use the England Athletics platform/portal RunTogether to book on a run.
