Kersal Wetlands

This week's group run will be the Wetlands route starting from outside the Y Club at 6:30pm on 10th September.

We will start to introduce different pace groups again depending on numbers of attendees so that all paces are accounted for, and in accordance with current COVID-19 guidance from England Athletics, we can now remove the limit on attendees as long as we have enough group leaders available, with each leader able to lead sub-groups of 12.

Please sign up in advance - with your full name - using the Doodle poll link below:

Session format

We meet at the Y Club reception at 6:30pm. After a quick warm up, the Captains will gather the group together for club notices, after which we’ll split into sub-groups before we head off on the run.

Each group will run at a different pace and will be led by a club member, so there should always be a pace group suited to you. The number of groups is flexible depending on the number of runners down on any particular night and the availability of people to lead a group, however we will try and provide the following pace groups:

• Group 1: 7.00 min / mile (4.20 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 2: 7.30 min / mile (4.40 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 3: 8.30 min / mile (5.20 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 4: 9.30 min / mile (5.50 min / km) +/- 30 secs
• Group 5: 10 min / mile (6:10 min / km) +/- 30 secs

If you’re not sure which group to go in on your first visit, we'd advise starting off in Group 5 and try to work your way up to the next one!

Our routes are generally 6-8 miles (10-13km) but Group 5 will always run 10km or less.
