About Lliswerry Runners
Lliswerry Runners was founded in 1985 in Newport, Wales, with John Hill among its co-founders. Welsh Athletics’ club history describes a renewed recruitment effort after membership fell in 2003, with track sessions helping rebuild the group even though its main competition disciplines are road, cross-country, trail and fell running.
The club has played a substantial part in Newport’s wider running community. Its history records involvement in Newport parkrun from 2011 and Riverfront parkrun from 2017, working with Newport Live. Beginner initiatives have included work with Newport Mind and retired residents, alongside volunteering, charity fundraising and litter-picking.
The Lliswerry 8 and support for local half-marathon events are further parts of that community role. Training uses different Newport venues, so newcomers should contact the secretary or membership team to find the right session. The governing-body directory also lists guide-running support. The club’s membership service explains the available joining options, including arrangements for students and second-claim runners.
