Our training sessions are open to all Dragons members. If you’d like to join us as a guest to see what we’re about, you will be encouraged to run with us at a few sessions before committing to joining the club. We welcome runners of all abilities aged 16 years or older, and have three training sessions throughout the week led by our qualified Run Leaders & Coaches. 

At Dragons, we pride ourselves on our sociable club runs. We meet 10 minutes before the start time at Yeadon Cricket Club for a run briefing & to ensure we are ready to leave at our advertised time.

We have a loop back policy on all our runs meaning we start and finish each run as a group. As runners of all speeds are accommodated, our Leaders ensure that faster runners loop back at regular intervals. We ask everyone to follow this practice both for the safety of the group and to ensure all members feel included and have an enjoyable running experience.
