About Almost Athletes
Almost Athletes has welcomed adult runners in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, since 1988. Its programme spans sociable local runs, road racing, cross-country and longer-distance challenges. England Athletics-qualified coaches and run leaders support members with different ambitions, from getting comfortable over 5K to preparing for a marathon or ultra.
Monday track sessions use the Prince of Wales Stadium on Tommy Taylors Lane and require advance booking. Other runs start around Cheltenham: the detailed October 2026 timetable places the main Wednesday social run at Old Patesians Rugby Club, while Tuesday coaching uses changing winter routes. The club also offers Couch to 5K courses and lower-intensity track sessions. Check the weekly meeting page before travelling, as older homepage listings show different venues.
Prospective members can arrange a trial through the club's general email. Activities are restricted to people aged 18 and over, and the club's private Facebook group is for confirmed members. Almost Athletes also has welfare contacts, mental-health champions and guides for blind and visually impaired runners, alongside a social calendar and club-organised races.
