A warm welcome awaits you from Handy Cross Runners at Booker Judo centre every Sunday morning (9AM) and Tuesday and Thursday evenings (7PM).

The club, which was formed in 1978 at the beginning of the jogging boom, provides an environment which caters for all runners irrespective of age, sex or ability. We now have over 150 men and women members, aged 16 to 75, whose standards range from international to fun runner.

The club has become one the premier road running and cross country clubs in the area and boasts excellent changing and social facilities.

As a club we are involved in a number of events namely the Wycombe half marathon, the Marlow 5 mile fun run, cross country leagues and a summer 5K series. On the social side we hold an annual barbeque, dinner, Christmas party, skittles evening and ladies night. We also support local charities by raising funds through the races we organinse.

So, if you are already a runner or thinking of taking up running and do not wish to run alone, come along to see us and the facilities we have to offer.

On club evenings our members run a variety of distances at different paces. Our club coaches also organise personalsed speed work sessions on Tuesdays with time trials being held on the first Thursday of each month for those interested in checking their progress.

On Sunday mornings we generally run longer distances either on the road or exploring the many footpaths and bridleways which abound in the area. This allows those interested in ornithology and keeping fit to kill two birds with one stone so to speak. On Wednesday evenings during the summer months we have exclusive free use of the Handy Cross track for training.

The newly refurbished judo centre facilities now include a large comfortable lounge bar, viewing gallery, conference rooms, toilets, showers, changing rooms and sauna. Membership of the running club is inclusive of the judo centre and therefore we are able to enjoy the full use of their facilities anytime.
