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 darlig vaeret, bare darlig klaerner': There is no bad weather, only bad clothes.!

Welcome!

ARG is an informal group of runners that meets every Tuesday evening for a run, rain or shine. When the clocks go forward in sping we meet outside the Woodman pub on Barnet Wood Lane and when the clocks go back in the autumn we meet in the car park of the Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall, off Woodfield Lane.

Our runs start at 7.30 (sharp!). We normally run for 40-60 minutes, We generally have three groups: slower, medium and faster groups. In the summer months, we do speed training every third Tuesday, on Ashtead Recreation Ground. In the summer the last Tuesday of the month is designated for 'Away runs' where we drive to a local spot and run from there, just for a change (departure from the Woodman at 7.30, as usual, but in cars). In the winter, the last Tuesday of the month is a head torch run - come with a torch for some off-road 'fun' (if you want!)

Every first Tuesday of the month, we meet up for a drink after the run (ie at around 8.30), at the Woodman pub in the summer and at the Brewery pub in the winter. All are welcome, runner or not!

We meet every Tuesday, rain or shine, snow or sleet, in light or in dark. It is free to join us - we have no overheads, so there is no fee!

We organise the Ashtead 10k (and 2k fun run) in September and the Ashtead Dash (and fun runs) on Ashtead Village Day (mid-June).

We have been known to move sheds for beer.

Come and join us!
