Rules on Junior Membership

North Devon Road Runners are very proud of their junior members and always welcome more. However, parents must be aware that as we have no child protection officer, children under the age of 16 can not be left at the club without their parents' supervision. So you will just have to come and train with them.

All Thursday night session are suitable for juniors. They train with Vicky's group. I sugest that 8yrs is a reasonable starting age.

On Tuesday nights in the summer, the mile and 5K are suitable. Other training nights are not.

We will be running a handicap race of approx 3 miles in the winter on the same nights as the Fremington handicap race, following the same route. The hill sessions will be suitable for teenagers.
