Home  Wells City Harriers - The Wednesday Page

The main WCH Club Night for Seniors is every Wednesday (Juniors is Monday night).  This is a mixture of training, exercising and socialising

The aim is to experience a challenging and varied mix of running activities, helped by the support fellow club members.

The usual venue is the Wells Rugby Club next to the Wells Leisure Centre, Charter Way.

Running Groups

There are usually 2-3 running groups, catering for different abilities and needs.  You can choose which one to go along with, or start a new one yourself - there are no hard and fast rules.

  • The Fast Group is usually runners who are capable of keeping up a good pace, and want to be challenged by tougher courses.
  • The Steady Group goes at a more relaxed pace, but still gets to some excellent parts of the city and its environs.
  • The Intermediate Group is for those who may have "graduated" from the Steady Group, but do not yet feel strong enough to go with the Fast Group.  This group is mainly those who want to develop their fitness and stamina for events such as half marathons. (see below)

 

What we do
  • Summer Runs are usually cross country, using local knowledge to get some of best scenery in Somerset.  We include Ebbor Gorge, King's Castle Wood and many more.  Most months we will have pub run somewhere in the area when all groups get together for a more social gathering.  Some of these may be a Hash Run to add a bit of fun!
  • Winter Runs usually involve some well lit road circuits of Wells, but this is mixed with optional hill reps or road reps to build up stamina and to get a bit of variety.
  • The 5K Series happen most months with either the Winter Street Series or the Summer Yeovilton Series, both of which happen on the second Wednesday of the month (see Fixtures page).

 

The Intermediate Group

This group of keen developers is being helped by some other members who will lead runs on a rota basis, so that the Intermediates can get the benefit of others' experience and knowledge of local routes. If you want to be a volunteer, please contact webmaster.
