Club

Rumour has it that Dragons Running Club is around 12 years old and is now on its third change of gym - starting with The Manor, then Dragons and now LA Fitness.

As a running club we cater for beginners to advanced runners, with a good proportion of the club having completed half marathons - and a fair few having done more than one marathon.

Because we are based at a gym, you must be a full gym member in order to join the running club.
If you want to find out more about L.A. Fitness then visit their web-site
If you are not already a member of the running club but want to join (and you are a gym member) then please find one of the coaches during the week and they will take it from there.

Dragons currently has around 160 paid up members of the running club; this means we receive 3 London Marathon places courtesy of England Athletics.

Membership costs £6 per year and for that you receive your England Athletics card which enables you to enter races at a discounted club rate as well as other benefits. The main advantage to being a member is the boost it will give to your running!

Committee
Dragons has an AGM in January, where anyone can put forward to be voted on to the committee to act as Treasurer, Secretary, Chairman. The current Chairperson is Jo Wood.

Contact Dragons Running Club
The running club is based at Haworth Lane, Yeadon, Leeds, LS19 7EN but the best way to contact us is either in person or through this website.

Please note - Dragons is a running club, not a PLC. Coaches and committee members are voluntary and give up a lot of time and effort to ensure members continue to be motivated to get fit and stay healthy through running - as a member you need to do your bit as well.

If you wish to contribute to the running of the club in any way then please speak to any Jo Wood, Graham Orbell or any of the coaches.

If you want something putting on the web-site, then send it in - please use the club email above.

if you have any links to good running sites/articles then they would be of more interest.

If you are planning a run email the date/time/run and it can be added to the monthly calendar

Anything to add, email

CAIRNGORM RUNNING
Whilst on holiday in Aviemore, Scotland, I made contact with a fantastic running club called Cairngorm Runners. They could not do enough to accomodate me and were one of the most friendly groups of people I have ever met in my life.
They invited me along to one of their training sessions and have already linked Dragons Running club on their website
They have issued an open invitation to any Dragons Runners who are visiting the area, or on holiday, to join them for training on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. They run from Inverdruie, which is close to Aviemore.

Email any of the links - they will respond - and be sure of a great Scottish welcome!
