If you're not sure whether a running club is for you, please read this blog written by Dan Yarwood. If this doesn't convince you to give it a go, nothing will!

The Royton Road Runners year starts on 1st April. Therefore we are currently offering a discounted part-year joining fee of £25 which covers membership through to 31st March 2025.
