Formed some 30 years ago, Blengdale Runners is a loosely based friendly club based in Gosforth for people who mostly enjoy running.

We meet every Tuesday at 7 p.m. outside Gosforth Hall for an informal one hour training session - in dark months based around the village, in light months we stray a bit further along local footpaths and tracks.

Speed and pace vary, and the sessions are structured so that all types of runner can enjoy (?) a challenging evening, without the slower ones getting left behind. Ages range from 18 to 60+.

Each year we organise the Gosforth Ten Mile Road Race, anmd an associated 2k off road fun run, on a Wednesday in the middle of June, and we organise a Ten Kilometer Road Race on the first Tuesday in September.

In addition we organise a series of handicap races - fell, forest and beach - for club members.

If you'd like to come along any Tuesday just turn up and you'll be made welcome, or contact Mel Gould (25693)
