Club training
Training takes place on Monday nights all year round at 6:30pm.

When the lighter evenings allow it, Monday training takes place at Holkham Hall, meeting at the Village Car Park, just before the North Gate (when approached from The Victoria Hotel).  Running will either take place in Holkham Park or on Holkham Beach.  

During the winter months, training alternates between Holkham Park using portable lights and the lit streets of Fakenham.

parkruns

The club has a close relationship with Holkham parkrun, with members regularly volunteering and taking part.  When Holkham parkrun is cancelled, members will regularly take part in parkrun tourism no another local event.

Couch to 5K

Every year we hold a Couch to 5K course, aimed at anyone who would like to give running a go. No previous experience is necessary although we also welcome former runners who would like to build up their fitness again.
