All of the sessions at Baildon Runners are designed with everyone in mind, it’s more important you have a good time than run a good time, so regardless of your ability, come join in the fun!
If you are thinking of joining us, please get in touch to find out how you can join in with any of these activities as the start location may differ from session-to-session.
Tuesday – Coached Sessions
If you’re keen to improve your running, then these sessions are definitely for you. Our England Athletics trained coaches and run leaders will be able to pass on their wisdom to help you set and achieve your goals. From the hills of Baildon Moor to the athletic track and everything in between, our sessions cover almost everything that will help you with your running journey.
Sessions start at 7pm, locations will vary.
Thursday – Social Long Run
Our Thursday runs are great for getting to know your fellow members as we venture out of Baildon. With 5-6 different groups tailored to different speeds and distances, we can accommodate your needs. As well as exploring Baildon and the wider area, we often do away evenings to Guiseley, Ilkley, Bingley, Harden, Grassington, and more.
Sessions start at 7pm, often at Baildon Rugby Club, but on away days we meet elsewhere.
Saturday
Our Saturday sessions have a great variety, from speedwork in the park, to leisurely scenic runs over the moor, or through the panda trail (not real pandas unfortunately). Ideal session for improvers and beginners, though all abilities welcome.
Sessions start at 10am, often at Roberts Park, but alternate sessions can sometimes be offered
Couch to 5K
In September 2024 and April 2025, we successfully completed two cohorts of our Couch to 5k programme, with over 50 runners completing them. These safe and progressive courses span 10 weeks, and follow the official NHS programme. We guide you every step along your journey, with our EA qualified coaches and run leaders helping you finish with a graduation ceremony at Roberts Park parkrun for your first official 5k!
If you are interested, please get in touch. Our 2026 programme is TBC depending on numbers as well as coaching availability
