Bellahouston Road Runners was established in 1999 and became affiliated with Scottish Athletics in 2000, with the intention of promoting running and fitness for all. The Club is now based at Clydesdale Cricket Club. Year after year the Club has gone from strength to strength with member numbers growing to more than 230.
The Club has in more recent years become increasingly prominent on the local athletics scene with large turnouts at events such as the Great Scottish Run. Our women’s and men’s teams have been very successful in recent years participating in, and winning events across the country.
While our top runners have performed magnificently, it is the growth of the core membership together with the overall performance of our runners that has proven to be the Club’s greatest success. We pride ourselves on our membership that comes from all backgrounds, and our ability to cater for a wide range of runners from the more competitive, to those who just enjoy running. We actively support each other’s efforts and achievements. No matter what their level, the Club looks to develop the abilities of ALL of its members.
We run two coached training nights per week, on a Monday and Wednesday, regularly attracting between 40 and 80 people. These sessions are organised to help our runners achieve their personal goals. There are also more informal training runs at weekends ranging from easy long distance runs to challenging hill and cross country routes.
The Club has a very active social side with regular social evenings with our annual awards ceremony being a highlight.
Whatever the sporting or social interests of its members, Bellahouston Road Runners does its best to cater for their needs.
