Who are we?

We are a friendly group of runners based in the beautiful Thames-side village of Cookham, Berkshire with men and women members ranging from complete beginners to more speedy racing types. Established in 2010, we are affiliated to England Athletics but our ethos remains strongly rooted in the more sociable aspects of the sport: we run, we explore new routes, we are committed to improving, but we also like to chat, over coffee and cakes (or something stronger) when we can. 

The Junior section of the club was introduced in 2013 for younger runners, please see Junior section for more information.

Seniors
We participate in local summer 5k league, winter cross country league, as well as team relays and other local events.  Our members range from graduates from couch to 5k through to competitive triathletes and marathon runners. Cookham Running Club is a true village community, organising many events open to all, please see our Events section for upcoming ones.

Juniors
Our junior athletes are highly competitive at road, track and cross country, Above all else though we make sure the emphasis for juniors is on fun and we aim to foster a great team spirit. If you are age 9 or above, why not come and train with us? Contact Peta Bee for more information or see our junior section

Couch to 5k
If you have never run before or want to get back into running, the club holds 6 week "Couch to 5km" running courses led by Paddy McGrath, a UK Athletics qualified coach, with the aim of getting you to be able to run 5k at the end of the course.  This is a great way to get fit and meet new people, enabling you to join future club runs.  For more information, dates and details of the courses contact Peta Bee or Paddy McGrath.
