Running Forever

Running Forever Running Club was started in November 2004 by Simon Reach, with a view to getting completely novice runners to enter and complete the Taunton Half Marathon the following April. The club was a huge success with around 70 runners turning up on a regular basis, many of whom took part in the half marathon and Running Forever Running Club was born.

Since then the Running Forever Running Club has met at least once a week and trains for the Taunton Half Marathon held each April and the Taunton 10k held every September. Although our initial aim remains the same, we also have many runners who are getting excellent results in races (see results) and we cater for every type of runner. So whether you have no running experience at all, you are a novice runner with little experience or an experienced runner looking for an experienced club then we are here for you. We maintain a great social side to the group, regularly organising non-running events and social gatherings.

The Running Forever Running Club is affiliated to UK athletics with our members having a choice as to whether they join our club or just turn up each week as a guest runner. For further information on the benefits of membership of The Running Forever Running Club, or to download an application form, please click here.  

If you haven't yet run with the club, please take a look at our Club Times to see when we train, and feel free to turn up to any session. Ask for one of the running councilors, and you will be made to feel very welcome. If you haven't run before, we run begginers courses three times a year. Please Contact Us, and we will be pleased advise you.
