We usually say ‘meet at Henfield Leisure Centre every Wednesday at 7pm’ to anyone who wants to come along for the first time. But that isn’t true as in recent years we have expanded our successful series of summer runs from local pubs, into a winter series too, as a popular move. There is almost always a core group who run from HLC and around the streets each Wednesday, but also a main group who explore the beautiful local countryside, re-energise senses dulled by work/weather/season (add your reason here!), and at the same time emphasise the more social aspects of the Club. If you’re new please feel free to come along to any of these venues and meet us, or for more details drop us an email at: enquiries@henfieldjoggers.co.uk
The WINTER 2019/20 Pub Run series started in OCTOBER and takes us through until APRIL when we can take our head torches off again and embrace the light! Visiting the pub is not compulsory, you can simply treat it as a meeting place and go home afterwards if you need, but then you’d miss out on the social aspect and of course the finest pubs in Sussex (probably!).
Expect around 5 or 6 miles at an easy pace with early return options, and sweeping/run backs so that noone gets lost, whatever your pace. This is about being social and having fun more than ‘training’! Come along, its fun!

Please note these runs are very different from those we do in the summer. Not only we will be running in the dark, but the routes are along country lanes and farm tracks, so they should be easy to follow and the opportunities to get ankle deep in mud will be very limited!
