About Us
As a club, we were established and continue to exist to provide opportunities for runners of all abilities to enjoy and develop their running in an environment that is friendly, sociable and mutually supportive.
Our base is the ‘Hutch’, situated directly opposite the outdoor pool by the Lake Grounds.
We run a variety of group runs each week and all of the sessions are hosted by the Club’s own App and led by our dedicated run leaders.
Happy Mondays - a gentler pace and shorter run in 2 different paced groups. Organised and run by our recent C25k graduates with routes around the marina and nearby.
Tuesday evenings - Club runs for runners of all abilities across 4 groups and 2 times running flat and hilly routes on alternate weeks.
Ladies Only - Wednesdays run where we meet outside the Graze bar opposite Parish Wharf at 7 pm and have a beginner and intermediate group.
Intervals - Thursday evenings for runners of all abilities to help develop their running.
Parkrun - alternate Saturdays - a group of Portishead runners attend the local parkrun at Clevedon Salthouse fields followed by coffee at 10am at the Salthouse pub.
Couch to 5k
New Course starts 8th January 2024
The Club will be bringing back our ever popular 10 week C25k programme from Monday 8th January 2024 and you can sign up now.
The programme will take you from a standing (or sitting) start through to running your own 5k over a structured 10 week period with coaching sessions held on Mondays at 7pm and Saturdays at 9am starting outside the Portishead Lido.
The course costs £20, so that is only £1 per session plus we will provide you with a free Hi-Viz vest into the bargain. This will provide you with club membership until the end of our subscription year in March 2024.
Run by our army of enthusiastic club members, many of whom are graduates of this course in previous years, the programme will provide support and manageable progression to you on your journey to the start line of a 5k Parkrun event in Clevedon in March.
Our Club ethos has been founded on supporting runners of all abilities in a fun and supportive manner and we really feel that our C25k course is the very best example of this in action.
We are proud that a sizeable number of graduates stay with the Club and move on to enjoy running in our many other sessions or take part in longer races - some of our 2023 graduates have already run half marathons!
There is nothing to fear - you have got this!!!! - start the process by following the link to the right.
