SINFIN RUNNING CLUB

Sinfin Running Club was started in 1984 with the help of the Sinfin Community Council and met every Wednesday at Sinfin Moor Social Club.

 

The club grew in membership and stature and soon started to pick up individual and team prizes in many races, both at senior and junior level.

 

One of the clubs biggest achievements was when they won the national final of the ‘Today’s Runner’ cross country league. The club had some very good runners, Pete Yeomans and Tim Bishop being just two of them. These two runners won many races including the Worksop Half Marathon and Bury 20.

​

Up until the politics surrounding the coronavirus, the club organised an annual 10k race, The Sinfin Classic, which originally, ran around Sinfin but later moved to Elvaston Castle.  This race sadly ceased due to complications following the restart of races and changes happening at Elvaston which made the organisation of the race untenable.

​

At the time of oour 40th Anniversay in 2024 we decided that we needed to gather information from our members / previous members to celebrate the History of SRC. With this we can document, as much as possible, highlights of the club and highlghts of specific members that have been with the club since, mostly, the begining.

 

There will be specific pages where we celebrate cretain members of the club and the achievements they have had and made to the running of the club. It should be noted that we have an aging club so some of the details are from club members that are now in their 70's and their reflections and reports on best times, after 40 years of running can be a little vague.....

​

The main aim is to document and archive what we can before everything is forgotten.......
