Welcome to Run & Ride AC. Based at Milford near Stafford, we’re a small group of runners of all abilities who share the same love for running… whether that be road or trail, long runs or short runs, we love it all.
One of our aims is to make club running uncomplicated and straight forward. Remove as much of the red tape as possible and focus on running and the social side of being in a club.
If that sounds like the kind of thing you'd like to be a part of, come & join us!
Get Involved!
Whilst many of us have been running for years another of our aims is to encourage new runners and help them develop. As the club grows we’ll be offering everything a new runner needs from helpful advice to training sessions to help you achieve your running goals.
For regular runners our Monday night runs (6.30-7.30pm from our Milford store) are the perfect way to start the week.
Relaxed and social where you can cover a few steady miles and chat about the weekend or the week coming. We cover around 5 miles at a 9 -10min mile pace on mixed terrain. We never leave anybody behind and welcome all ages.
If your looking for a quicker run, check out our Wednesday night trail run, starting early May. It's just the ticket to get some good solid miles in over Cannock Chase at a quicker (7-8min mile) pace to test the legs.

Runners will need to have a counting finish in up to 8 of these events. Points will be awarded for your club ranking position:- 100 for 1st, 99 for 2nd and so on. The runners with the best overall score will win the trophy (or whatever we decide as suitable reward).
Categories are as follows:
Junior Male / Female (Under 18) • Male / Female (18 to 39) • Vet Male / Female (40+)
