Training Groups

There are various groups of runners in and around Westville who meet at different places, times and days. Join one of the training groups to help you reach your running dreams and targets. There are a few WhatsApp groups available, to be kept up to date with various training runs and information – Once a Westville member, speak to a committee member to be added to these WhatsApp groups.
Things to bear in mind:
