    I have been running for about 9 months and I try to go for a jog 3-4 times a week. I have entered some races throughout the year and loved them. While I'm not a serious runner as such in that I'm not competitive, I think I would benefit from joining a club just to keep me motivated and to keep me training.
    I know there are a few running clubs close to where I am in Knocklyon, but I really don't know anything about them, so maybe somebody could steer me in the right direction.
    Thanks

    I know some people in Sportsworld, they train in Bushy Park. It's supposed to be a good club.

    Clubs near you would be Rathfarnam, Sportsworld or Tallaght. Kinda half way between them Tallaght's track is at Westpark gym in the Village and think Rathfarnam meet somewhere in the village to (not hundred per cent thou). Both would cater for the needs you have a stated

    Didnt realise Bro Pearse had adult members. Think this would be your best bet as it nearest and alot cheaper in terms of membership than other two

    Any chance ye would consider 7,30 start in the evenings with the long nights? Really difficult to get out of work and home for that time.
    Do ye run on the weekend?
