Ashtead Running Group is a small group of friends that run at a pace of 8-10 minutes per mile, running mainly off-road and exploring the countryside around Ashtead in Surrey. We are always pleased to welcome runners on our wild canters across the downs and along the muddy footpaths and bridleways. We meet each Tuesday night at 7.30pm at the front gates of the Woodman Pub on Barnett Wood Lane. We run in the rain and the snow, in hail and in heat - we run in sunshine and in the dark. As they say in Norway 'Det er ingen darling vaer, bare darling klaerner.' There is no bad weather, only bad clothes! If you would like to join us on a run, please call or message Rob on 07743879005 or Phil on 01372 276224 for further details. We welcome runners of all speeds! Our local charity is Rianna's Fund Ashtead Running Group and the Ashtead 10k which it organises has donated over £15,000 to local charities since its inception on 26 October 2004.

ARG is an informal group of runners that meets every Tuesday evening for a run, rain or shine, light or dark. ARG was founded back in October 2004 and is a group of friends, rather than a club, so there are no fees to pay and no paperwork. We organise the Ashtead 10keach September to benefit local charities. The race has been named as one of Britain's top five 10k races, and - according to us at least - is Britain's 'Greenest race.' The Ashtead 10k has donated at least £15,201 to charity (since we started counting, and including the 2020 race). Ashtead Running Group meets every Tuesday night, at the front entrance to the Woodman Pub, and leaves for its run at 7.30pm - sharp! We run at about 8 minutes per mile, off road, up and down hills, in mud and puddles and in all weathers (admittedly, it's not for everyone!). In the winter we encourage all runners to wear light coloured/reflective colours - and a head-torch is a must. The first Tuesday of each month is 'pub night' where we go and have a pint after the run (at the Woodman). In the summer we try and have a few 'away days' where we go and run somewhere else! The group is very friendly, and you will discover pathways you never dreamed existed! We have been known to move sheds for beer. Come and join us for a run and some fun! |
