The Senior Section is open to members from 16 years old and above. We meet every Tuesday night at Werrington Sports centre. Meet at 19:00 in the drama studio for warm up and announcements, followed by group training runs of between 2 and 10 miles.
There are normally several groups of runners doing various distances and speeds every tuesday. During the winter months these tend to be around the lit streets of Peterborough and in the lighter months we mostly run out into the countryside around Etton, Glinton and other local villages.
Changing, shower and locker facilities are available at the sports centre, free of charge to club members.
After the regular Tuesday run we can often be found at the gathering in the Ploughman Public House at the Werrington Sports Centre car park for post run refreshment and chat.
Every week there are volunteer members who are available to take out new runners and introduce them into the club, match them up with like minded runners with the same speed and distance plans for the evening and make sure they are looked after for their first few weeks.
Long off road runs or races; see the diary for details. Some runs have a shorter/slower option. Don't be put off, just ask.
16 or 17 year olds who are not currently members of Werrington Joggers Junior Section and wish to join our senior section should in the first instance read the attached document ("Protocol for Young People at Seniors") and then contact wjchairman@werringtonjoggers.co.uk who will put them in contact with an appropriate club coach.
Young People aged 16 or 17 cannot attend a senior members club night without having spoken to either the club chairman or a club coach first, in line with the clubs safeguarding policy.
