The Club competes actively in the Leicestershire Road Running League (LRRL), which each year has organised road races at different venues across the county. These races vary from 5 miles to half marathon, and usually begin in February and run through September. They are competitive with some amazing talent, yet welcoming for any ability. For those who love the mud and cross-country, we compete in the Derby Runner Cross-Country league; with races range from 5 to approximately 7 miles. The terrain can be anything, including fields, forests and trails which make up the countryside around Leicestershire. Teams are usually entered every year for Leicestershire, Midlands and National Cross-Country championships. Club members also take part in a whole host of other local, regional and national events, details of which are on the Races & Events page.
