Newport Running Club

NDRC on Tour

Every few months, we get together at a local parkrun, the venue for which is voted for by our members on our private Facebook group about a month beforehand. These events usually take place on the second or third Saturday every month, depending on other events taking place (we try to avoid clashes with local races, and very busy weekends!).

We started this in June 2022 after taking inspiration from other local running clubs, and after the success of our volunteer takeover at Telford parkrun in May of that year.

Our next “NDRC on Tour” will take place at Severn Valley Country Park on Saturday 3rd August 2024.
