With spring on the horizon, races (and the club championship) get into full swing. This week sees a 2k time trial on the track (2 March), the ever-popular Newport Half Marathon (6 March) as well as the last two cross-country fixtures of the year (13 March, GLCL Fairwater, and 19 March, Gwent League at Singleton …
Saturday saw our ladies team make the trip west to Pembrey Country Park for the 117th Welsh Cross Country Championships. In recent years, our ladies have performed well at these championships, so our small team comprised both previous medal winners and new club members making their debut at the championships. Despite the blue skies and …

Congratulations to Sue, who is an Event Director of Newport junior parkrun. She completed her 250th volunteering occasion on Sunday 27th Feb. With true motivational genius, she’d organised a daffodil and a heart shaped welsh cake which Sue had baked herself. These were available to all finishers, so really great encouragement for the younger end …
The dark nights of autumn and winter are the times when it’s all too easy to stay in and watch the TV. But every Monday, Lliswerry Runners organises a strength & conditioning session for its members. This has been tailored by the wonderful Jacqui, our resident PT Instructor to tone up bits that most runners …
There was never a nicer run, especially on a summer evening, than around Llandegvedd Reservoir but beware, Dwr Cymru have installed a crazy new pay for parking system in their car park. What’s more, it relies upon your mobile having good reception to download the app & if you ignore it you’re likely to end …

2 routes on offer this week starting at 8am on the Sirhowy Valley path heading to Machen Mountain. Short route 7 miles, longer route 14. As Sunday mornings go on winter days, this started as cold as you would expect however as the sun was due to shine we were looking forward to getting to …
It’s busy time at the club. Even though this is the 36th Lliswerry 8 there is so much to do. We’ve checked out every inch of the course & repainted mile markers which have faded since the last race staged in 2020. Many thanks to “Team Tango”, volunteers from past races, for running a reccie …
I always dread the first “race” of each year and my feeling toward this was no exception, particularly as the first event is normally February or March. In fact, I almost didn’t enter this as I thought we were likely to be running the course the horses run, i.e. the dreaded grass surface. As it …
As an alternative option to our Sunday road runs, there’s a group of off-road running fans lead by Lisa & Stuart who are finding some amazing routes. This weekend it was around Wentwood with its incredible views over the Bristol Channel. There are always various distances on offer and lots of regrouping, so its a …
