Club Standards

Club standards are a set of goal times that are set out to challenge the individual runner, no matter what their age. There are 4 standards, BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD & DIAMOND. These in turn are set for 6 race distances 5K, 5 Miles, 10K, 10Miles, Half Marathon & Marathon.

 The idea is that each runner will look at the standards for their particular age group and gender. Then work out to which standard they wish to aim for, they then have to complete 4 of the 6 goal times within that age category (i.e. a vet 40 runner, aiming for Bronze standard, has until his 45 birthday to complete 4 of the 6).

If the runner finds they improve greatly within a short time of the age bracket, they would then set their sights higher at the next level, for this to continue being a challenge.

It’s the responsibility of the runner to forward all times when achieved, where and when to John Rudd, so they can be verified before any award is given. Awards will be given when the 4 distances have been achieved.

Welcome to Perth Road Runners!

We are known as the friendly running club and we have proudly brought runners together in Perth for over 25 years. Our philosophy is to inspire and be inspired so all we ask is that you have a pair of running shoes and a sense of humour. We will take care of the rest.

We meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6.30pm. On Tuesdays we meet at Bell’s Sports Centre (in the foyer) while on Thursdays, we have organised coaching sessions alternately at the George Duncan Athletics Arena for speed sessions or  around the Kinnoull Hill area for hill reps. The details for Thursday nights are on the Events Calendar to the right of this post.

We have a broad range of ages and abilities in our club. At our Tuesday sessions,  we have a Meet & Greet set up where one of our members will welcome you and run with you, introducing you to some of our members who would likely be running at the same pace as you. We tend to run for around 1 hour at our sessions and so the pace range can be anything from 4-5 miles up to, and more than, 10 miles.

Joining the club is easy. All you need to do is complete the Application form and bring it along to your next training session along with £15 Membership Fee. We highly recommend our members join Scottish Athletics and save money on race entry fees.

Before you take that step, we would like to invite you to one of our Tuesday sessions and meet us all. These sessions are free and the only additional payments are the £2.30 fee for the use of the GDAA.

We look forward to running with you!
