The Mt Pleasant Running and Walking Club is for all ability and experience levels...from the beginner walker to the marathon runner. This club was formed from feedback and comments from our members and community to provide numerous opportunities for people to improve their fitness levels.

Membership in this club is Free! Members are welcome to participate in as many or as few weekly training options as they like. The club is setup in a show & go type format where our leaders will help organize you in pace groups/distances that fit your ability. Our starting weekly training schedule is set out below.
