The club has grown extensively over the last year and Membership Secretary, Chris Moore reported that there were now over 400 members with both Juniors and Seniors. The club has become more proactive taking part in more events and forming competitive teams for track and field and cross country. As well as encouraging and coaching athletes from 5K to full marathons as has been shown by the number of members who have already competed successfully this season.
Pete Compton has also been heading up the 0-5K programme and recently started the first one in Coleford, the initial group completed their first parkrun on Saturday 9th.
