Night Social Runs

Overview

Thursday evenings are our informal group run for all those that can run 5km already (if not, look out for our Couch to 5k courses!). Everyone runs at their own pace - we use loop points throughout the run to keep everyone together! It’s a great opportunity to chat to people at all levels throughout the run. We run for between 4 and 5 miles. Bag drop (not showers!) is available from The Fox, 17 Lower Essex Street, Birmingham B5 6SN before the run. Run starts at 7pm from the Pagoda Island (what3words location: with.shorts.limbs) We do have trained and licenced guide runners in the club for visually impaired runners, but please send a message ahead of the run to ensure we have a guide in attendance that week. If you haven't already completed the Swifts Membership form, you will also need to have done that here: https://forms.gle/EA9ChXNcnU7Vih9h6 Please note that some runs may be suitable for children aged 8+ where the Run Leader(s) holds the relevant qualifications and insurance. Please check with the Run Leader(s) directly before attending any runs with under 8s. Qualified Run Leaders are insured to lead training sessions with runners using running buggies, however, please check with your Run Leader directly if you are able to attend with a buggy and that the route is suitable for running with a buggy. Only buggies designed for running may be used and they must be fitted with a five-point safety harness. You will be responsible for your child’s safety, so please be aware of the dangers of running with children in buggies.
