Road Running

Team Kennet runners compete in a wide range of open road races across the region and beyond. If you’re interested in league racing, championships, or using road events to support your training, get in touch or speak to a coach at a session. For national fixtures, licensing and event listings, please refer to RunEvents.

Greenham is based at Greenham Common and is supported by Team Kennet. Many members already attend parkruns in places such as Basingstoke, Swindon, Andover and Reading. Having a local event in Newbury provides a regular option for speed work or a relaxed weekly run.
