There is a regular speed session group each Tuesday evening accommodating runners of all abilities. 

During the summer months, sessions are organised to incorporate training on the track, as well as runs that involve Burnham/Berrow/Brean beach, trail runs – for example on The Mendips (Crooks Peak) or runs that incorporate local landmarks such as  Brent Knoll and Brean Down. A pub is a common reward at the end of these runs.

Other run groups during the summer may include longer runs, with run times 1 hour or more, or distances around 7 miles, depending on pace. 

Winter runs are shorter, taking account of weather conditions and along routes that are well lit to enjoy running safely. The club meet at The Bay Centre, Cassis Close for the 6:00pm sessions, however, some runs start from alternative locations noted by run leaders on the Harriers Facebook or Spond.

The club also has several qualified leaders in running fitness and a qualified Coach in Running Fitness to provide coaching and technical support to improve your running.

Members will also post additional runs, such as on a Sunday morning.

Follow the Burnham-on-sea Harriers Facebook page for runs organised outside of our normal Tuesday night club run, or other social/club organised runs. Members also have access to Spond, where many races, runs and other events are posted.
