07/10/2024 East Regional Volunteer Awards - Winners! Message from Chairman

It was a very proud moment for me to receive, on behalf of Werrington Joggers, the award for Club of the Year at the East Regional Volunteer Awards event at Bury St Edmunds last night.

I would like to thank everyone at the club who has contributed to this success and supported me as chairman over the past year - committee members, junior and senior coaches, organisers and helpers at our presentation and charity events, marshals at our running events, the members who helped me put our promotional video together, website and MemberMojo administrators - as well as all of you who turn out in all weathers at club night and represent the club at races throughout the year   - we wouldn't be the fantastic club without you  and the award is for all of you.

Also thank you to all who voted (and got others to vote as well) for us in the ''free vote' - clearly we garnered the most votes to 'clinch the deal'  - so our marketing campaign was one that our rival clubs could not match.

Onwards and upwards WJ's - we have a marvellous club here which I am so pleased to be part of - there is a lot of truth in the saying ''a club is only as good as its members'' - and I think we demonstrate that in spades.

Junior Duke of Edinburgh

Do you enjoy running? Would you like to join a sports club? Are you worried about keeping fit ?  Are you looking for a way to complete your Duke of Edinburgh Physical?

Werrington Joggers run a Junior Section for children aged 9-16. We meet on Tuesday evenings between 6pm – 7pm at the Werrington Sports Centre.

Your children will receive instruction from qualified coaches, become part of a growing running community within Peterborough and have access to road, cross country and track events.

Annual subscription is only £15 and will be refunded if after 2 weeks your child does not wish to continue.

Induction evenings take place regularly during the year and the next induction dates can be found on the Junior Introduction page here 

During the induction we will cover a range of topics such as when to eat, injuries, clothing, competition and behaviour.

We hope you will consider joining our friendly local club and we look forward to seeing you and your children at our next induction.

For any further information prior to the next Induction evening please contact either Tim Cook (07793 906746) or Louise Richardson (07732 407070) otherwise you are most welcome to simply turn up with your child on the next date.

Sunday Runs

We regularly meet on a Sunday for a cross country run. These are social events and can vary between 6 and 12 miles, often with alternative shorter routes. Very often muddy - trail shoes are recommended if you have any - and run from local village halls where possible.

Sunday Run - Nassington

Many Sunday Runs have more than one distance alternative and can vary in terrain. Please see the Diary for more details of times, locations and formats. Sunday Runs are an excellent way to get to know your fellow runners and our tradition of "looping back" to keep groups together ensures that no-one is left running on their own or will get lost. Please support the run hosts who plan and arrange the runs and spend a Sunday morning in the fresh air on some of our local countryside routes.

The club diary has details of the meeting points and start times of the runs. Start times are prompt. The runs have a guide to distance and difficulty.

Parkrun

Many members take part in the regular Peterborough parkrun and a list of the latest results for the consolidated Werrington Joggers members can be found by clicking here. This is a measured 5km time trial open to the general public every Saturday morning at Ferry Meadows country park at 9am, and elsewhere as an unmeasured 5km run. these are not races and no entry fee is required but you must pre-register on the  web site.
