We have a single sheet for each winter muster route with a risk assessment & map, in PDF format:
• The Albert
• The Michael
• Poplars
Unless otherwise announced the main Thursday training session is the “Muster”.
We run together using a system that allows people to run at different speeds but keeping us all together as a group. To keep everyone together, we have points every mile or so at which we all turn around and run back to the slowest runner who is always accompanied by a back marker. We call these "muster points". The back marker changes at each muster point so he only has to run slowly for one muster leg.
This system allows everyone to run at their own speed without anyone being left behind. Some of us treat the runs as interval sessions, running different sections at different speeds, or perhaps some sections as training runs and others as social runs.
There is a single route for the Summer Muster run. There are currently three different Winter Muster routes. The length of the routes is between 6 and 7 miles. Quicker runners who muster back to the back marker will run further than this.
To view any of the muster routes, click on one of the pictures to the left. The muster points are marked on the maps.
Although many faster runners run the muster, some prefer to do a separate faster pace run. There is also a separate beginners run for those who are just starting or who are not yet ready for the full muster.
Muster etiquette
Please try to follow these guidelines, for courtesy & safety and to make sure the muster works well.
To sum up, be courteous to other people and you are responsible for your own safety.

The back marker has an important role.
