We meet on Alport Lane Playing fields , Youlgrave (the cricket and football pitches, Alport end of the village, car park is next to the field). We head to The George for post run recovery. Because they're session based this allows us to cater for all abilities ie work as hard as you want or have a walk / jog, but we'll all be within close proximity of each other
Guided Trail Runs. Saturday or Sundays usually starting at 10:00 every 4 weeks. We use these to go exploring around the Peak District. Full details including maps and route description can be found on our EVENTS page. We do have a loose limit on non members depending on the route so we do ask that you let us know you're coming via the form . This is to control numbers and enables us to send final details out/updates if needed.
All our runs are open invite (no membership, fees etc needed ) simply come along (though we are sneaking in a few additional member only things as we grow). Any questions please contact us youlgraveharriers@gmail .com or Facebook messages .
