The friendliest running group in Bognor Regis
Unfortunately we are going to have to temporarily cancel Tuesday Night Plodders, this is due to the Core team being unavailable to start you all off and check you all return safely, this required for insurance purposes.
Obviously, you can still all run from the Waverley but it will be at you own risk.
This will only be temporary and normal service will resume soon.
Please accept our apologises and we look forward to seeing you all soon

Some background information about Promenade Plodders.
Plodders was discussed and developed by 6 initial members. Chris, David, Matthew, Ben, Jamie and Wayne, since then in the last 6 years we have lost Chris, Ben and Wayne. But with losing them we have gained 2 new core members, Kelly and Kiley.
We started the club with the idea we could help and encourage runners of all abilities, which we think we have achieved over these years.
The club prides itself on being there at the beginning of a runners journeys and helping them complete there running journeys.
No matter of your ability a plodder will always be at the start to support a fellow member and there will always be someone there at the end cheering you on.
We started the club running on a Sunday and Tuesday evening leaving the Waverly at 6.30pm running 20 minutes along the prom and 20 minutes back all starting and finishing at the same time. This format still applies, although we have now changed Sundays to start at 09:45 at West Park, we have also added monthly away days.
If you ever need some advice, please reach out to one of the core members who will help to the best of their abilities.
We now have a Web page which is constantly updated and we hope this will get the club some further recognition.
Our club is free to join fully insured and extremely friendly. Please feel free to get in touch or come along on a.... TUESDAY AT 6.30PM WAVERLY WEDNESDAY AT 9.45 WEST PARK CAR PARK.
Please email promenadeplodders@gmail.com if you need any more information
