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 (6.30-7.30pm from our Milford store). 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.
Membership
Our club is English Athletics affiliated and is free to join, however there is a charge associated with English Athletics membership.
Our joining policy has one important requirement: potential new members are referred to us via current member(s).
If you know a current member please contact them for an introduction, or join them on one of our weekly runs, we'd love to see you.
English Athletics membership runs from April 1st - March 31st. Your membership fee will not pro-rata so you will need to renew even if the full 12 month term is not fully utilised from the date of joining.
It costs £18/year (£17 + £1 fee) and is valid only until the following March 31st. ​
Please provide all the required member info at checkout. Missing data may result in your RRAC & England Athletics membership being void.
