Our Saturday Cross Country/ Squad Run session is based at Broadstone Recreation Ground. This training session focuses on developing off-road running on grass and parkland terrain. This is perfect preparation for the Cross Country competition season which runs through autumn and winter.

Poole Runners has supported and encouraged me on my athletic journey, from QuadKids to Under 18’s. Running is now a part of who I am and what I aspire to be!
