About Us

About A545RC

The Absolute 545 Running Club has been an organic process that was born in April 2012 at a local Gosport running specialist, Absolute Running.

Customers and staff went for a social, end-of-day run just after the shop closed and it was so much fun, a decision was made to repeat it every Wednesday at 5:45. The rest is history, but although the shop may now have gone, the community has grown, and the social running group evolved into Absolute 545 RunClub, which is affiliated with the Association Of Running Clubs (ARC).

The rules are simple:

If you want to enjoy running in a supportive environment and community, we could be for you. There are no expectations or obligations to attend club runs. There is no pressure to represent the club at events. Just run for fun.

For those who want a little more, we offer training sessions that are led by UKA-qualified running leaders or Coaches and amongst our number, we have a wealth of experience in all areas of running.

Our club’s mission statement is to make running fun and support one another.

Membership Price

Membership is £10 a year, which allows us to ensure that our sessions are insured, and any residual income goes towards sponsoring a junior athlete each year. We have one rule in our constitution… be nice.

Meet the team

It’s really important to acknowledge the team behind the club. Without them, it’s unlikely the club would be able to exist at all. So please do take some time to meet the team, and become familiar with who does what behind the scenes.

Sponsored Junior Athletes

At A545RC, we believe in nurturing talent from a young age. Our sponsored junior athletes are the future champions of tomorrow.

These talented young individuals have already shown incredible dedication and promise in the world of running. Get to know them and follow their inspiring journeys as they train, compete, and strive for excellence.

We’re proud to support their dreams and look forward to seeing them achieve greatness in the world of running.
