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, rather than a club, so there are no fees to pay and no paperwork. ARG is affiliated to RunEngland.

As well as exhibiting - and organising the Ashtead Dash 1km and fun runs - at the Ashtead Village Day in June, we also organise the Ashtead 10keach September. 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.'

Ashtead Running Group meets every Tuesday night, and leaves for its run at 7.30pm - sharp!

During GMT (in the winter, before the clocks go forward) we meet at Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall car park (KT21 2BG).

During BST (in the summer, until the clocks go back) we meet in front of the Woodman Pub on Barnet Wood Lane, Ashtead (KT21 2DA).

If numbers allow, we have faster, medium and slower groups. These might run at 7:30/mile, 8:30/mile and perhaps 10mins/mile pace.

In the winter we encourage all runners to wear light coloured/reflective colours. Bring a head torch if you can - each third Tuesday of the month tends to be a more adventurous run.

The first Tuesday of each month is 'pub night' where we go and have a pint after the run (at the Brewery Inn in the winter, and the Woodman in the summer).

In the summer we try and have a few 'away days' where we go and run somewhere else!

The group is very friendly, and welcomes runners of all abilities.

We have been known to move sheds for beer.

Come and join us for a run and some fun!
