Road Running |
 This page is primarily for Southport Waterloo's road runners. About half the club's membership is made up of senior road runners and they compete in cross country and road relays as well as road races. The club organises a Grand Prix series of races each year and many relax after Christmas with a handicap race following Boxing Day and then a run from Blundellsands to Birkdale along the Sefton Coastal Path on New Year's Day.
The road runners have training sessions on roads, in pinewoods and on the track. See the Training section of the About Us page for details.
