The name Dumfries Running Club first appeared in race results in the early 80s when the members of founding club Nith Valley Joggers made the decision to affiliate to Scottish Athletics, so prompting the change of name to avoid any confusion with another local club of the time. Since it's establishment the Club has steadily grown in size and currently membership stands at more than 100.

The club caters for all abilities, from those wishing to run for fitness to those running at International level.

We meet for club runs at Dumfries Sports Club, Nunholm Road, Dumfries on Mondays & Tuesdays at 6.20pm for a 6.30pm start.

Our trail running group meets on Wednesdays. Start times and locations are announced in advance on our Facebook page.

A variety of speedwork sessions take place on Thursdays.  Please keep an eye on the club website www.dumfriesrunningclub.org.uk for details. 

The membership year runs from 1st March each year. 

Please make yourself familiar with our club policies - particularly those covering risk assessment, running safety, disciplinary and equality. These can be found at www.dumfriesrunningclub.org.uk/policies
