The Club is run entirely by volunteers who also happen to run! Gordon Main has many years of running experience and acts as our Club Coach. A Committee runs the Club and currently consists of: Chairman Alistair Stewart, Vice-Chairman Louise Scott, Secretary John Rushforth and Treasurer Gordon Cruickshank. There are also ordinary Committee members, currently: Carol Stewart, Fiona Kelman, Susan Smith, John Ferrie, Denise Main,Debbie Halliday and Fiona Mclachlan. If you would like to help out and join the Committee, or want more information on the club, Alistair would be delighted to hear from you! E-mail him at info@nairnroadrunners.co.uk.
2. What sort of people are members?
The Club is made up of ordinary people of all ages from 18 onwards who just want to get and stay fit. We have runners of all abilities from complete beginners through to keen racers.
3. Where do you meet and how far do you run?
The Club meets on Thursdays at 7.30pm at the Club Hut on the Maggot (although we will be meeting at the Community Centre in Nairn from 16 October over the winter months). Thursday evenings are usually the shortest sessions distance-wise, when we cover about 4 - 5 miles. This is usually made up of either a steady run or short team races/loops.
On Mondays we meet at 7.30pm outside the Westerlea Hotel on the Inverness Road. Monday nights are usually endurance sessions of some description (although you can just run steady if you wish - the whole group stays together) and we usually cover between 6 - 8 miles.
Wednesdays are either hill training at Clava or local races in the summer, and more speedwork in the winter. Over the winter, we meet at the Westerlea Hotel at 7.30 p.m. Meeting places and times over the summer vary - speak to a club member if you're not sure. We usually cover a similar distance to Monday nights.

4. Will everyone be faster than me?
We have runners of all abilities in the Club so there will usually be someone of a similar speed for you to run with. We operate a policy of never letting anyone get left behind on Club nights, so faster runners always loop back to pick up slower runners during training sessions. We also have a specific beginners group on our Thursday evening Club nights at 7.30pm at the Maggot Hut.
5. Can I just come along, or do I have to join?
Those interested in joining the Club are welcome to come along to any of our sessions to see if the Club is for them. After 4 sessions we ask that you complete a registration form for the Club and pay an annual subscription fee. This is currently £25 a year or £15 for students and helps cover the costs of running the Club. £7 of each membership fee currently goes directly to Scottish Athletics. (This is a club fee levied by Scottish Athletics and should not be confused with individual membership of Scottish Athletics.) Any queries regarding membership fees should be directed to the Club Secretary.
6. Will my personal details be kept confidential?
We will not pass on your personal details to any outside parties with the exception of Scottish Athletics if this is required. If you have provided us with your e-mail address then you will receive regular Club updates and bulletins: these will have your e-mail address in the header along with those of other Club members.
7. Where do I get official Club kit from?
The official Club kit for Nairn Road Runners is currently an orange vest with black trim and black shorts with orange trim. These items can be purchased from the club hut during our Thursday club nights. New kit is now available - we have Viga vests and t-shirts for sale (£13 and £15 respectively). - for further details speak to Loiuse Scott.
8. Which races do the Club host?
Nairn Road Runners currently host 4 annual races comprising: Nairn 10K (March), Nairn Highland Games Half Marathon (August), Nairn Turkey Trot (December) and the Nairn Cross Country (winter).
Club Vice-Chairman Louise Scott
9. Can I help organize a Nairn Road Runners event?
We are always looking for volunteers to help with our race events, as without them we simply couldn't hold the races. If you would like to help out then we'd be delighted to hear from you. Please contact the Club Chairman for further details.
10. Can I sponsor a Nairn Road Runners event?
We would love to hear from any individual or business that may be interested in sponsoring one of our events. Please contact the Club Chairman for further details.
