History of the Club |

Southwell Running Club was formed in 1986 by Bill Johnson along with a group of keen runners, following a meeting at a local pub. Three of the original group are still active members of the club today. These are Barbara Barry, Barry Clark and Richard Peacock.
The club has grown steadily from around 20 runners to our current figure of over 120 members.
Southwell Running Club holds its AGM in October and its financial year runs from September 1st to August 31st.
As part of the calendar we organise our own Grand Prix which initially consisted of three races over 3 miles, 10 km and 10 miles. Runners score points based on results from previous years (new members get allocated 50 points per race they complete) and the highest totals are awarded the two main trophies for the next twelve months. With effect from 2010 the Grand Prix has been exteded to 4 races with an additional race over 1 mile. The three best races will count to give each runner's points total
