About Burnham Joggers
Burnham Joggers began in November 1978 when local GP Bob Green and his wife Sammy helped establish a jogging club in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England. The early group used Burnham Hall and introduced a shared warm-up known as the Social Mile. Founder Russell Brown devised the Staggered Jog, a handicap run first held in January 1979 that rewarded individual improvement.
After several changes of headquarters, the club now meets at Burnham Bowls Club on Stomp Road. Tuesday and Thursday evenings offer coached sessions or group runs at different paces, with a social element alongside training. Members pursue distances from shorter road races to marathons and ultras, and newcomers can be paired with a buddy for their first sessions.
The club offers trial visits and an annual beginners and improvers course, with enquiries handled through its website. It also organises the Beaconsfield 5, Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10K, and Cliveden cross-country event. These races and the Staggered Jog sit alongside ordinary club running; prospective members should check current session and course arrangements rather than rely on historical schedules.
