ABOUT
We are a small, friendly running club of mixed ability, age and gender, united through our wish to run with others in a social and motivating environment in and around Cockermouth, Cumbria.
​
Most of our twice weekly sessions are road based, but we also have a range of off-road training sessions and take part in a variety of races from 5ks to marathons, cross country, road and fell.
​

Our club’s committee is made up of current members who have all volunteered to help with the general running and organisation of the club. Positions are reviewed and altered, if necessary, each year at our Annual General Meeting, held in December.
​
All members are welcome to attend the AGM and are encouraged to voice their opinions!
​
Committee meetings are held at least 3 times per year, and any member interested in applying to be on the club committee, please contact secretary@derwentac.com
