About Saxmundham Sports Running & Fitness Club
Saxmundham Sports Running and Fitness Club is better known locally as the Saxons. Based in Saxmundham, Suffolk, England, it was founded in March 2005 by coach Gordon Merfield. The club combines running with general fitness work, welcoming people seeking a regular exercise routine as well as runners preparing for competition.
Training is published for Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Carlton Park Sports Pavilion. Sessions bring together running, strength work and a supportive group setting rather than requiring everyone to pursue the same race goal. The club also stages a five-mile multi-terrain race, giving its local running community an event of its own.
Membership is available from age sixteen, with prospective members invited to try sessions before committing. The membership year runs from April to March, and England Athletics registration is an additional option. Use the club's membership page to confirm the next suitable session and joining arrangements; race-entry age limits should not be confused with club membership eligibility.
