About Gravesend Road Runners and Athletics Club

Welcome to the Gravesend Road Runners and Athletics Club website.

We are a friendly running club based in Gravesend, Kent and we are proud to say that the club has been running since 1983. We meet on Tuesday evenings at Cyclopark, Wrotham Road, Gravesend, DA11 7NP from October to April or Meadow Rooms, The Street, Cobham DA12 3BZ from April to September. Runs start promptly at 7pm.

New members are always welcome.

We usually run in three different groups of runners on club runs to ensure that as a club we can support all club members over different paces and distances.

These include a beginners 5k (3 miles) group, an intermediate 10k (6 miles) group and a faster 12-13k group. Club runs are usually between 30 minutes to an hour.

All Gravesend Road Runners enjoy the benefits of weekly training runs, cross-country runs, road racing, trail racing and a social club.

We are affiliated with UK Athletics.

Announcement on Club Fees for 2021/22

Posted on 14 April 2021

The club has decided that last year’s membership fees will also cover 2021 so if you were a member last year you do not need to pay the club subs of £21.00.

If you would like to be registered with England Athletics please pay the registration fee of £15 into the club account by the end of April and we will make sure that you are registered.

For any new members the club subs for this year will be just £10.00 (or £25.00 with England Athletics registration).

The reduced fees are just for this year due to the disruption to training caused by the Covid pandemic.

4 Castles, Kent Spring and Saxon Shore Half Marathons

Posted on 14th October 2020

Well it has been several long months since the website has been updated. The Covid-19 situation has put paid to races and parkruns throughout 2020. But, at last, thanks to Phil Garrod, Paul Moss and Peter Granger we have some race results to report.

Congratulations to both Paul and Peter on their half marathon PBs at the 4 Castles and Saxon Shore half marathons respectively. To bashful Phil too for a great 16th place finish in the Kent "Spring" half marathon held in October - guess it is Spring down under.

Paul completed a cold, windy run from Deal to Dover in 1:50:37 to claim 28th position. Peter then had equally inclement weather to smash his PB by 7 minutes to finish the Saxon Shore half marathon in 2:12:33.

Well done guys for getting the club colours back out again!
