We are a running club providing membership to “athletes” of all abilities for anyone over the age of 18. Visitors, guests and prospective new members are most welcome to run with us for few weeks before we expect them to join up formally.
Hungerford Hares Membership Fee (1 April 2025 – 31 March 2026): £17.50
We run on Tuesday evenings, meeting at the Hungerford Rugby Club at 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start with a 10-minute warm-up held in front of the John O’Gaunt school opposite. There is usually a choice of a shorter or longer run, and sometimes we hold intervals and hills training sessions instead. The longer run is typically 10K and the shorter run about 5-7K at a steady, chatty pace. The routes are a mix of road and off-road depending on the weather and ground conditions and each session is about an hour. During the summer, we organise social runs starting and ending at a country pub.
There are eight Run Leaders, all qualified with England Athletics and First Aiders. We aim to have at least two Run Leaders on each run. We also have the services of one England Athletics registered Club Coach.
Individual Affiliation with England Athletics (1 April 2025 – 31 March 2026): £20
Hungerford Hares is affiliated with England Athletics, for insurance, for support and training of our Run Leaders and Coaches, and to maintain high standards of service to the running community, including documented Club Standards and the provision of Welfare Officers.
Individual runners can additionally choose to take out individual EA affiliation. This gives you approx. £2 off each EA race entry and allows you to run in club colours, representing Hungerford Hares, either as your “first claim” or your “second claim” club.
