About Heanor Running Club
Heanor Running Club was formed on 28 September 1982 at the Market Hotel in Heanor, Derbyshire, England. David Levens proposed the meeting shortly after helping organise the first Heanor Half Marathon. Early runners such as Andy May established the club's competitive reputation, while Judith Wooley's young-athlete section helped sustain it during a more difficult period in the 1990s.
Today the club combines road and cross-country running with junior development and its long-established Christmas Pudding 10K. Senior training is listed for Tuesdays and Thursdays, using Shipley Hall Cricket Club in summer and the Heanor welfare venue in winter. Junior Thursday sessions also change venue seasonally, from Shipley to Rutland Sports Park.
Newcomers should contact the club before attending to confirm the current group, time and seasonal location. The published programme offers support from qualified coaches and runners of different abilities, while the seasonal venue changes allow the club to make use of both summer outdoor routes and winter facilities.
