Join us to Get Running!

We do not hold beginners only courses.

Instead, we encourage anyone who would like to try running to come along to one of our training sessions.

Our Tuesday and Friday sessions are open to all adults of any ability and do not assume a level of fitness or running experience.

They are ideal for:

Complete beginners and experienced runners,

Those who have tried a bit of running and those who run regularly,

Those who have tried or completed a Couch to 5k and those who run races,

Anyone who wants to build their confidence after having had a break from running,

Those who have a fitness goal or race time they want to achieve,

All are welcome, so come along and give us a try.

No need to book, just turn up on a Tuesday or Friday.

Any questions, email Get Running

We look forward to seeing you.

How to find us

Our facilities are commonly known as ‘BARC’ which stands for ‘Bungay Area Running Centre’

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and suitable footwear such as a comfortable pair of trainers. We do not expect you to have the latest gear if you are new to running and it most certainly is not needed for our sessions. Please bring a bottle of water and warm clothing to put on afterwards.

We have ample free car parking on site at BARC, our facilities on Pirnhow Street.

All our sessions cost £2.50 via our Payment Card Scheme.

Your first session is free, so what have you got to lose?

We have both male and female toilet facilities on site. For more information on our facilities, see the Facilities page.

The sessions are designed to be fun and relaxed, and will gently introduce you to structured running. We understand that it can seem daunting to just turn up for something new. Please remember that you will meet new people who are probably as apprehensive as yourself.

You can join the club at any time by completing the joining form on our website.
