Welcome to the Great Yarmouth
Road Runners Website Our club originally formed in
1988 when twenty-four runners attended the inaugural meeting. Seven
of these are still members of the club, including Chris Harbord, Jeff
Helmore our chairman and Ken Overy our membership secretary. We are a friendly club and are
open to runners of all abilities. Not all members are interested in
competetive running; some simply to keep fit or lose weight. Others
have watched events such as the London Marathon on TV and thought they
would give it a try. Whatever the reason, all are encouraged and we
have seen a good number of "joggers" turn into "elite"
runners and have even produced We currently meet for club
training on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7pm. During the winter
months at the Marina Center, Gt. Yarmouth and summer training at Cliff Park
High school in Gorleston. All members are encouraged to take part in
the organised training runs which have been designed for all abilities. We also provide an excellent
social calendar: Our Annual Xmas Dinner and trophy presentation,
summer barbeque and games, various quiz nights- to name but a few.
Other events where we have entered runners are the Round Norfolk Relay,
London Marathon, Gt North Run, The Grizzly, Coniston 14 and various
