Start running with Fliers

We welcome new runners.  Our original founders wanted Fliers to Bristol's most welcoming running group and that's still important to us.   

Everyone has their own goal, whether it's running a first 10K or just plucking up the courage to run with others.   We celebrate every milestone.

Our runs are on Wednesdays 6.15pm from King George V Park Downend, top car park park near Stanbridge School where everything started.

Our standard distance is around 5k.  Like most running groups we use looping to ensure runners of different abilities stay together and no-one is left behind.

Generally if you can complete a parkrun in under 42 minutes you'll be fine.  If you're stilll working up to this we have couch to 5K and occasional improvers courses.

Running with a group can seem daunting but it's easier, more motivating and in the winter a whole lot safer than plodding the streets on your own.

We have no membership forms, no joining fees and no session fees so there's nothing to loose but to pluck up the courage and come along on a Wednesday and start your journey.

Our Facebook group will always tell you the plan for each run each week, just look for Stanbridge Fliers
