About Us

A Little about the Club

Interested in joining a running club ? Centurion RC have been around for over 30 years, a friendly club with over 100 current members.We welcome runners of all abilities from the 5 minute miler to the steady Sunday jogger, whether you want to participate in competitive races, complete a 5K charity event or just keep fit for fun !

The club actively participates in a range of events. During the winter months there is always cross-country with both a mens and womens section. Then in the summer there are a wide variety of road races including the popular Warwickshire road race series. Members compete in many of the major events during the year with up to 20 taking part in the London Flora marathon. We have an active social side to the club with organised events including our club awards evening, pub nights, days out walking, cycling and the odd group holiday.

The Centurion club organise the very popular Centurion Grand Prix series (Nov-Apr) and the Coleshill Fun Run usually held in May. As a member you can enter club events like the Sutton park relays and XC races for free,  avoid any 'unattached' levy and usually obtain 10% discount from most running shops. If you are interested then give us a trial run, come along and meet the members.

Where and When We Meet 

We meet at 19:00 on Tuesday and Thursday in the foyer at the North Solihull Sports Centre, note if you are coming along for the first time then I recommend Tuesday as it is the main club evening. Many club members also run on Sunday mornings arranging in advance meeting times and locations, all are welcome. There is a new centurions online forum which will hopefully be used in the near future to notify members of any group runs.
