Eastleigh Running Club is a group of runners who all run at different speeds and all maintain different training schedules so we try to cater for all standards of running, novices, long time runners, those who run once or twice a week or even the six times a week real keenies. We catered for runners and would-be runners from the age of 18 to 72 (our oldest member is 72!). 

We meet at Fleming Park Leisure Centre, Passfield Avenue, Eastleigh, SO50 9NL, every Monday and Thursday night at 7 pm except high days and holidays!

We suggest that you park in the Eastleigh Borough Council Offices car park and make your way across the pitches to the Clubhouse at the back of the Leisure Centre. Fleming Park Leisure Centre has showering facilities and after the runs/shower we meet in one of the Bars for a drink (orange juice and lemonade is a favourite!) - not compulsory! We always suggest that you come along and try out the club for a t least 4 weeks before you join.

On Mondays, the club starts as a single group for a warm up session and then splits into groups of different distances ie a short (4.5 - 5 miles) and long (6.5 to 7.5 miles). On Tuesdays and Thursdays there are speed sessions on the grass track in the summer and the local roads in the winter. On Thursdays there is also a number of groups offering short or long distances all announced at the warm-up. There will always be someone who will run with you at your pace until you find your niche within the groups. If you can run non-stop for 45 minutes then you will be able to run with the short run group as there is regroup points every 3/4 to 1 mile. There are other opportunities to run with the club, detailed in a weekly email. This email can be subscribed to when you join.

The cost to join the Club is currently £25.  The subscription year is March to February (pro-rata rates apply in July and November). The subscription provides for the use of Fleming Parks changing facilities and your race licence from England athletics including insurance (races fees, organised with UK permits, are reduced by  2 because you are a member of an UK Athletics affiliated running club. Large races such as the Great South Run cost the same for all entrants.)

If you wish to come along please let us know in advance so that we can be ready to greet you. It is best to be there by 6.45. We meet at the entrance to the old Golf Club which is at the back of Fleming Park, the warm-up session takes place on the field outside. The Leisure Centre reception can point you in the right direction of the old Golf Club Clubhouse if needs be.
