Southampton Running Sisters supports adult female runners with a wide range of fitness levels, ages and running ambitions. We currently have over 150 active
members, attendance at club nights is around 40 runners. We run in and
around the city of Southampton.
We are affiliated to UK Athletics
and participate in the Hampshire Athletics League. Local race series
include the RR10 (summer) and CC6 (winter), as well as the Hamshire Road Race League.
Many
of our runners are fitness or leisure runners, but we also actively
participate in local road races and pride ourselves in being supportive
to new and improving runners.
SRS Eastleigh
In 2011 the national Women's Running Network folded, leaving the local chapter in Eastleigh unaffiliated. The women soon decided to merge their group with the Southampton Running Sisters which is the reason why we now have activities in both Southampton and Eastleigh.
Due to their different history the two chapters operates slightly differently. For example, the Eastleigh group communicates mostly via a blog and a facebook group, the rest of SRS prefers a mailing list. However, all women are full members of SRS and are encouraged to mix and match activities in both locations according to their preferences. |
