Welcome to the home of the Chew Valley Snails recreational running group. We’re a community of runners that will support you wherever you are on your own running journey. Whether you’re taking your first steps into running, returning after a break, or looking for a group that celebrates every mile (and every smile), you’ll find a warm welcome here.
Our sessions are relaxed, supportive, and full of encouragement. No one gets left behind, ever. We run together, we laugh together, and we enjoy the beautiful Chew Valley countryside one steady step at a time. If you’re curious about joining us, want to try a session, or just fancy meeting a lovely bunch of Snails, you’re in the right place.
Meet some of the Chew Valley Snails
Join one of our club runs
Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a total beginner, or someone who simply enjoys a good natter in the lanes, the Chew Valley Snails are always happy to welcome new faces. We’re a friendly bunch who believe running should feel fun, supportive, and never intimidating — no matter your pace.
If you’d like to meet us in person, check out the dates and times of the wide variety of our runs on Run Together. Sign up for a session or a course (couch to 5k, 5k to 10k) and just turn up. No snail is ever left behind!
There is an introductory first three runs. After that there is low annual membership of £10 per year.
