Are you finding it difficult to motivate yourself or are you bored with the same old routes?
Would you like to run more often but feel unsafe out on your own and would you like to run with a group.
Would you like the opportunity to compete in club races?

If you answered “YES” to any of the above, then, joining your local running club could be just the solution!
Most clubs are NOT just for elite athletes, obsessed with training and  high-profile races!

   Abbey Runners are a cross-section of like-minded individuals of varying ages and abilities, who enjoy the many benefits of training, racing and socialising with other runners on a regular basis. We are a friendly, growing running club based at Adel War Memorial Association on Church Lane, just off Otley Road in North Leeds. We welcome all new runners....


Hetta Morath - World Record Holder

On July 14th, Hetta turned 70 years old. She no longer runs long distances, but decided to celebrate the occasion by rowing a marathon in aid of the brain tumour charity Andrea’s Gift.
She would be very grateful for any sponsorship, and donations can still be made at http://www.justgiving.com/Hetta-Morath

This is just to say a big thank you, for your support for my marathon challenge. I managed to complete it in 3hrs 43mins, and am delighted to report that, thanks to your generosity, over £2000 has been raised for Andrea’s gift. This will make a significant contribution to the new research department which they have just set up in Leeds. We are so grateful and touched by your support. Thank you very much indeed.

Best wishes Hetta
