Hart Road Runners

Hart Road Runners is a friendly, social running club for runners in the Fleet, Church Crookham and surrounding areas. We normally meet as a club outside the entrance to the new Hart Leisure Centre in Hitches Lane, Fleet (but this can vary so please check the calendar) on Tuesday evenings at Thursdays at 7:00pm. https://www.hartroadrunners.co.uk/

HRR was formed 40 years ago by a small group of spo

rting enthusiasts from Fleet & Church Crookham area, who wished to train together for the first Fleet Half Marathon. In those days the Club was known as the “Fleet Run for Fun Club”. The Club went from strength to strength, with the name changing to “Hart Road Runners”, but with the emphasis still on fun. In fact, the Club still has some of those founder members running today. The objective of the Club is to encourage and promote amateur road and cross country running in a social and supportive environment. To meet these objectives we offer the following activities to any runner who either wants to develop further or just run for fun: Track training, Coached Sessions, Social and Group runs, Road Running and Cross Country Leagues, and Club Competitions. Our aim is to offer as many diverse and interesting activities as possible so that there is something to suit everyone. The club meets regularly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. So why not come down and join us, as we guarantee fun from running. Please contact our membership secretary ([email protected]) and come and try a couple of sessions and meet our coaches. If you decide to join you will receive our weekly news emails and may enjoy other club benefits, such as personalised training plans. We receive a lot of queries about what standard you have to be to join. As mentioned above, we cater for those who can run 5 km at any pace to semi-elite. If you can run 3ish miles (at any speed), we’d suggest joining our Saturday sessions or if you can run around 6 miles (at any speed) come along on a Thursday night – you can either join our 6 mile paced group or run further to around 7-9 miles in a variety of paced groups. In winter these are road runs, in summer we go off-road quite a lot. On Tuesdays we run coached sessions of speed or hill training – (we’d suggest that you can run 3-4 miles without stopping) and are mainly on-road but again sometimes off-road in summer. On Mondays we run sessions at the track in Aldershot. The Club is managed by a Committee of members, according to the rules laid down in our constitution. We are also affiliated to UK Athletics, the Amateur Athletics Association and other recognised sporting associations from time to time.
