April 2026

2026 has already been a busy year for our fantastic Dragons and it’s only a quarter of the way through! Here’s a snippet of what our club has been getting up to in January, February and March…

The year started with the club’s annual post-Christmas & New Year get together for a jaunt around Fewston & Swinsty Reservoir. With options to run or walk, it was certainly a family affair with Dragons bringing their little ones and four legged friends along to enjoy the outing. The flasks of tea and sweet treats afterwards provided the perfect opportunity for a quick post-run natter.

Race Highlights 🐉

Dragons have already been seen far and wide taking part in races this year:

Our local heroes took on Temple Newsam 10 mile, Rombalds Stride, Dewsbury 10k, Thirsk 10 mile, Coniston 14 and Swinsty & Fewston 10k to name a few.

Elsewhere a few members were ticking off more Park Runs in Alnwick, Roberts Park and Singapore of all places! Whilst one of our globetrotting Dragons took part in the Prague Half Marathon to complete the Super Half Series – well done Charli!!

Couch to 5k 💚

We celebrated our latest Couch to 5K graduates, who proudly crossed their final finish line at Roberts Park parkrun. With an amazing turnout of members running alongside, it was community at its finest. Thank you to Clare for organising, and we are so pleased to welcome our new members to the club! 

Social Run 🏃🍺

March ended with our popular club away day as the Dragons headed off to the Vale of York. With a tailwind, no rain, fast miles and huge smiles, the country lanes were awash with green as 40 Dragons took part in the 5 mile and 10 mile races.

Our runners absolutely smashed it across both distances, from PB chasers to first-timers and a special thanks to our very noisy supporters who made sure that every Dragon crossed the finish line with the support they deserved.

Roll on the next adventure!
