Hi I am moving from London to Chester! Does anyone know of a running club or is anyone looking for a running partner in the chester or wrexham area? I am worried that I wont be able to run outside as much as I don't know the area and also can't seem to find a club.
Thanks
Zoe

I think the nearest club is Helsby Running Club. Located about 10 miles NE of Chester

i run in the borders league which covers cheshire, north wales and wirral (i run for wirral though i no longer live there)
clubs from this league which could be suitable for you, and i think all have websites with details, are
wrexham ac
ellesmere port rc
west cheshire
buckley
tattenhall
deestriders
helsby
good luck both of you !
Barkston are you in central Chester?
I live in Chester but am not aware of any clubs in the city centre.
I believe some of the local gyms/health clubs may hold road running group sessions though, so it may be worth contacting them. Which gym do you go to Zoe?
Where i live there are afew hills and routes which i am going to explore.
The trainer at my gym as well has said if i want a tough session he will run with me on the treadmill next to me and push me harder, so thats a start but i really need to get out.
I do miss being outside and being part of a club though, thats what makes me work harder!

zoe i totally understand where you're coming from- it's not the same runnin by yourself. I think it's knowing there's nothing to push you that bit further than comfort zone. I'm also treadmill training at total fitness in chester but it would be nice to have a proper club that caters for beginners (like me!).
Hope you're trainer works out well for you

West Cheshire run from Northgate Arena which is city centre Monday and Thursday and Upton on a Tuesday.
Erddig is lovely to run in when it's a bit lighter and you can do a mixture of road and xcountry depending on what you prefer.
I think you'll find Ellesmere Port Running Club will be the best club for you, as I run for them. Majorlly mixed abilites from people running 33 10k's to 1 hour+ for 10k... it's friendly, it's close...

Bit of advertising there by the way
