Phoenix Fridays
Richard and Gillian have been getting their miles in by taking part in the ever-popular Phoenix Fridays, organised by Phoenix Running. These events are a brilliant option for runners of all abilities, offering a relaxed and flexible way to run at the end of the week.
One of the big attractions of Phoenix Fridays is the value and choice. Entry costs just £10–£12, and runners can choose any distance, from a short, steady run right up to ultra distance. All you need to do is book in advance, turn up, and run the distance that suits you on the day.
If you fancy joining Richard and Gillian for a future event, why not give it a go? It’s a friendly, inclusive setup and a great way to challenge yourself—or simply enjoy some well-organised miles.
Here are some dates they have lined up and I sure would love to see you there.
Friday 6th February

Friday 17th April

π Plodders on Tour – Awayday Runs! πβοΈπβοΈ
The Promenade Plodders are taking our running shoes on the road! Once a month, we’ve got some exciting awayday runs planned – a great chance to explore new routes, enjoy different scenery, and of course, share a post-run cuppa together.
Whether you’re a seasoned Plodder or just fancy a change of pace, these awaydays are the perfect opportunity to run, laugh, and make memories in new locations.
π
Upcoming Awayday Runs:
There are no more events planned for the rest of 2025, but the excitement doesn’t stop here. We’re already looking ahead to next year’s adventures and can’t wait to see what new routes and surprises Matt and the team have in store for us. So, be sure to keep an eye out for updates as we prepare for another year of unforgettable Plodders experiences.
π‘ Top tip: Bring your usual running kit, plenty of smiles, and maybe a camera – we want to capture these adventures!
Let’s make these awayday runs as fun and memorable as our home sessions. We can’t wait to see you there.
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 a new core member, Kelly.
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 **Waverley** 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 locations, on Tuesday we now meet at **The Dog and Duck** at 6:30pm and Sundays we meet at **West Park** at 09:45 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 meeting at The Dog and Duck or Sunday at 9.45 meeting at West Park Car Park.
