We know joining a club can be a bit daunting, but we’re a friendly and welcoming bunch, and always delighted to see new faces. We’re based at Glasgow Ski Centre in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow. See our Running pages for up to date information on when we meet, and do bear in mind our minimum requirements outlined here.

What to expect

We’re a friendly bunch, but it’s always a bit daunting coming along to something for the first time. Aim to get to the ski centre for about 6.15, and find the committee members taking fees: speak to anybody who looks like a runner and they’ll point you in the right direction.

Somebody will explain the setup to you and which group makes sense for you to start with. Your first two nights are free, after that it’s £1 per night. You’re encouraged to become a member after a few weeks. Download and complete the membership application form, or pick up a copy at the club (fees are £15/year, although first year is £25 to cover your all-important club vest).

You’ll be introduced to a coach or club member, and they’ll explain what session is planned for your group. Speak to any other runners too: We’re always happy to explain the subtleties of the session if you’re unsure. We all congregate just outside the ski centre at 6.30pm for announcements and race results, you’ll be introduced, and then we head off for a run or training session. We’re usually back between 7.30 and 8, although that very much depends on the session.
