Penarth and Dinas Runners is a friendly running club with mixed abilities of male and female runners. Formed in 1988, our Club encourages and welcomes new members from all backgrounds. We have trained coaches and members with vast running experience, all of whom are happy to give advice and share their knowledge to enable you to improve and reach your full potential.

Monday evening is our main club training session, meeting at Old Penarthians Rugby Club in Penarth. These tend to be effort sessions involving hill or speed work, albeit designed for all runners to be able to work at their own pace. Wednesday and Thursday sessions are conversational runs, exploring country paths, woods, fields and stiles around Penarth and Dinas Powys. We have also recently introduced a new “tempo-effort” run on Friday mornings, led by our two Club Captains.

We schedule our own Club Championships, which are based on results at local road and cross-country races. Weekends away at marathons or other events are action-packed adventures for runners and supporters! We have social gatherings throughout the year, and a great camaraderie exists amongst our members.

We organise three races each year; a 6-mile Winter Race in Cosmeston Lakes Country Park at the end of January, a 5-mile Mixed Terrain Race at Porthkerry Country Park in the early summer, and a Relay Race for 250 teams at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park on a Wednesday evening in July.

More information about membership can be found at our club website.
