Rochford Running Club (RRC) was formed in 2012 to serve the community of Rochford (Essex)

Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned ultra-marathon runner, there is a place for you at RRC. Our beginner groups take those new to the sport from not running at all up to 3 miles continuously in 12 weeks (or sooner). Those that catch the bug move into the 'improvers' groups, with many signing up for, and completing, their very first competitive races. Those aiming for more demanding events, such as the London Marathon, will also find the help, advice and assistance they need to cover the distance come race day. We have several experienced members who have completed a number of endurance events - all of whom are keen to show others how to take on an extreme challenge.

🎃👻 What goes bump in the night? 👻🎃

RRC! 🩵🖤

Thankfully not literally, as there were no bumps on last night’s trail run!

A huge thank you (as always) to Phoenix Striders for extending their Summer Series with a Halloween special. Same route, but a completely different vibe. There’s just something wickedly good about hitting the trails under the cover of darkness (and a perfect night it was). 🌙

The RRC gang turned out in full force and fully embraced the spooky spirit. The costumes were frighteningly good, and it was a real boo-tiful sight! 🎃🧙‍♀️👻

A monster shoutout to Tom and Gareth, who clocked in a top 10 finish on the night.

From the moonlit trails to the fang-tastic fancy dress, it was a spook-tacular evening packed with laughs, great running and plenty of Halloween spirit.

The only scary thing now? Having to wait another year to do it all again! 🦇💀

And of course, no weekend would ever be complete without parkrun!

Clive and Scott were over at Hadleigh for their 10th birthday, and others were out and about here, there and everywhere as always! Rosemary even took on Eastbourne parkrun before her Beachy head half!

Also, a couple of final shoutouts of the weekend; firstly to Shelley who took on the Leigh 10K by Mammoth Events, and those that went over to Belfairs for some more XC training!

Now, you’d think after all that this weekend, we’d slow down… nope 🙂‍↔️. Tuesday, we head on over to the Phoenix Summer Series Halloween event! Cannot wait for this one! We then have our usual efforts planned in for Thursday too!

There’s just never a quiet weekend at RRC.

Before we get onto the usual weekend activities, we have to give a huge shoutout to those who were involved in the Beachyhead marathon weekend.

We had Ant and Gav, as well as a couple of friends of RRC take on the marathon on Saturday battling; wind, rain, hail! Even against those elements, these guys crushed it! Phenomenal running! 🌧️💨☔️.

Then, come Sunday, it was time for Alex, James and Rosemary to take on the half marathon; this time a bit drier, but still a windy day out there! Of course these guys nailed the run, but a MASSIVE shoutout to Alex, as this was her FIRST half marathon!! What a first half to take on!

Looked a great weekend guys! Keep an eye out for the rest of the weekend’s activities later today!

In the words of admin; it was “death by hills” tonight.

Think the coaches had kept this effort session in the vault for a while for a reason…

But, before the storm sweeps in this evening; RRC certainly whipped up a storm around the Rayleigh Hills.

Huge effort by everyone out tonight; with some picturesque Rayleigh views 😅

19/10/2026

What a fantastic weekend of running that was!!

Firstly we had Karen, Rebecca and Steph head over to Spain to take on the Palma Marathon, and we couldn’t be prouder of all 3 of their achievements!

Rebecca chalked off her first ever marathon, and what a place to do it in! Steph was then tackling her third marathon in 12 months, and managed to achieve another PB result too! Finally, Karen came in as 5th female 🤟🏃‍♀️💨💨!!! Absolutely phenomenal running ladies! 👊💪🇪🇸🏃‍♀️

In a slight change of scenery and pace, elsewhere on the weekend we had some keen runners tackling some XC training, and of course… there was as always, parkrun!!

Another great week lined up this week too! 🤟🖤🩵💪

16/10/2026

Well done to James who took the honour of receiving the latest Time Trial award last night!

James recently run his fastest 5K in some time to secure the Time Trial, and only last weekend picked up a half marathon PB. Great to see your hard work paying off! 👊💪🩵🖤

A great social run with the gang last night as well, up and around Ashingdon Road, again some great hill training there!

A more quieter weekend compared to last this weekend coming, but we do have Karen, Steph & Becca heading to the sun to take on the Palma Marathon. Enjoy the run ladies, and have a great race! ☀️🏃‍♀️!

A friend? A foe? These stairs are many things, but in training they certainly are one thing; your ally.

As we approach cross country season, and with members of RRC signed up to the infamous Benfleet 15, these stairs effort sessions are key in our training.

Today, coach Sasha, ensured once we got to the top, we continued running at 10K pace for a minute to build that mindset of ‘don’t stop running when you get to the top’

Great session tonight RRC 👊💪🖤🩵

12/10/2026

A busy weekend all round for RRC!

We had runners all round London and Essex taking on the Burnham 10K, Chelmsford Half Marathon and the Royal Parks Half Marathon!

Well done to everyone, especially James and Sam who took away PBs at Chelmsford!

A special shoutout to Steve too who was running the Royal Parks for Sands. In the (kinda) words of Chumbawamba he: “got knocked down (mid-week), But got up again. You’re never gonna keep Steve down”. Well done Steve for Sunday’s efforts 💪👊.

Of course, on Saturday the gang were out as always at parkruns far and wide.

We’ve got another action packed week ahead of us, and whilst the weather gets cooler here, we’ve got a few ladies heading out for the Palma Marathon next weekend! ☀️🏃‍♀️.

A tough but satisfying effort session led by coach John tonight.

With plenty of races in flow right now, the session was all about speed with, 200m, 500m and 1Km efforts.

What is great about these effort sessions is the gang are always running back and forth and keeping in close proximity of each other and encouraging one and other which is what is needed now we are getting into the cold dark evenings! It was great to even have some passers by enquiring whilst the session was ongoing too! We had a couple of nice cheerleaders too 😅🐎

Now we rest before parkrun on Saturday, and then Sunday we have Chelmsford half, Royal Parks half and Burnham 10K! A busy weekend ahead!

06/10/2026

Of course the weekend isn’t just for races, it’s for parkrun too!

As always, on Saturday the gang were here there and everywhere for parkrun!

Scott and Jess swapped the running tees for the hi-vis on Saturday too! Remember; parkrun is nothing without its volunteers! 🫡
