Every pace welcome
We are a friendly running club in March, Cambridgeshire. Two coached sessions a week, races across the Fens, and a group that waits at the top of the hill.
When we run
Tuesday — speedwork
Two groups away at 6:00pm and 6:30pm. Intervals and tempo on the field and the lanes.
Thursday — club run
Warm-up at 6:15pm, then groups set off at staggered intervals so every pace has company.
Sunday — long run
A small group meets at 8:30am when there is an appetite for miles. Watch the Facebook group.
All sessions from Elm Road Sports Field, Elm Road, March, Cambridgeshire PE15 0BH. First session is free and nobody will chase you afterwards.
Coming up
1 Nov — Frostbite League race 2
Nene Park, Peterborough. Winter cross-country across the Fens, free to members. Scoring counts the whole club, so turning up matters more than finishing well.
22 Nov — Hereward Relay & Ultra
Our own race. A relay and a solo ultra along the Hereward Way, Peterborough to Ely. Enter with a team, or put your name forward and we will find you one.
18 Dec — Christmas party
Presentations, food, and the annual reckoning of who actually did the mileage. Partners and guests welcome.
Races we host
Hereward Relay & Ultra
Our flagship event. A relay and a solo ultra along the Hereward Way — teams, stages, and a finish that earns the cake.
Summer Run
The Whitemoor 5 Miler and the Simply Sprint fun run, from Elm Road each July. Chip timed, medals for everyone, cake at the end.
Volunteer instead. Every race we host needs marshals. It is the easiest way to be useful and the best place to watch from — email races@marchac.co.uk.

Club records
