We are a small, friendly and inclusive club meeting at the Catholic Church Hall on Broad Street in Syston, LE7 1GH. Our location attracts runners from Syston, Thurmaston, Queniborough and surrounding villages, out to Scraptoft, Sileby, Anstey and Melton Mowbray.
We know that runners come in all different forms and with a variety of running needs. Whether you are a seasoned club runner constantly striving for your next PB, competitive or casual, Team Wreake will be with you every step of your running journey with the club.
We organise some great routes for our club nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays, fortnightly Ratcliffe College track sessions and outdoor strength and conditioning sessions during BST hours. We ask that new runners are comfortable running for about 1 hour duration at 12 min/mile pace. Please get in touch with us if you want to discuss this in more detail. We aim to lead a group of C25K beginners through to a 5k Parkrun graduation at Watermead Parkrun (once or twice a year) and also lead 5k-10k groups to bridge the gap to get runners from 5k up to club night distance – which varies between 4 and 7 miles.
We are always developing as a club, investing in run leaders and coaches of the future. We have regular sessions to improve speed and endurance during our club nights and enjoy competing. Of course, we also like to let our hair down too and have regular social events and pub runs. There is a members only facebook forum providing all the latest information on routes, races and socials and we feature all the latest news and information on our open facebook page.
During 2021, we proudly celebrated our 40th anniversary. Our President, Dave Palmer, one of the clubs founding members is still an active member within the club. Find out more in our Club history.
We also co-host the LRRL Rotherby8 road race with Team Anstey and look forward to doing this again on September 1st 2024.
