Askern District Running Club (ADRC) was established in 1982. We primarily focus on road running, but we also participate in cross country and fell racing events.
The club welcomes runners of all levels, from novice joggers to international marathon runners, regardless of gender. Members gather every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 7pm year-round at the Askern Leisure Centre, located at Church Field Rd, Campsall, DN6 9LN. On these nights, we arrange training runs that cater to various abilities and distances. The leisure centre provides changing facilities and showers for our convenience. Unfortunately, we do not have track facilities, so we’re unable to accommodate young children as most of our training occurs on public roads.
ADRC was the host of three amzing races, the Norton 9, Askern 10K, and Askern 10-mile, which attract hundreds of runners from across the country, these races are currently postponed. Additionally, we compete in the South Yorkshire Road and Cross Country Leagues annually, Various team relay events and you will see us frequently at many different parkruns in the area on a saturday monring.
To enhance our community spirit, the club also participates in a time trial event on the first Thursday of every month with chips afterwards at Nortons Working Mens Club.
