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 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! 🤟🖤🩵💪

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 👊💪🖤🩵

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! 🫡

🌫️ SOUTHEND 10K🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️☀️

Yesterday, the RRC gang were out in force for the Southend 10K but, judging by the weather, someone forgot to tell the sun it was race day!

However, for what was a foggy start… once RRC got moving, the gang blew the fog away! 💨🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

There was plenty to sing about yesterday too with Will completing his first ever 10K, whilst clocking in a great time too!

And whilst there were some first timers for the Southend 10K, all of these not only achieved a course PB, but an all time 10K PB; huge shoutout too: Lucy, Shannene, Sam, Gareth and Anthony! Special shoutouts to Shannene and Sam who took off 7 and 5minutes off their times respectively!

A bonus shoutout to James who took a tumble too during the race, but got up and still brought home a sub 50minute! 👊💪.

Also, special thanks to Tom, Jacqui, Claire, Allan and Gav for the support along the way!

Southend brought the fog, but RRC certainly brought home the sunshine. 😎☀️.

Well, it was a bumper visit to South Woodham Ferrers parkrun on Saturday, and there was a lot to shout about! Firstly, we had Lucy bringing home an overall 5K PB. Then we had Sean, James, Debbie, Shannene and Shelley securing course PBs! Sean, brought home an 8th place, James got his fastest parkrun of the year, Shannene destroyed her previous time by almost 8 minutes, and Shelley too by over 5 minutes! Amazing effort all, the hard work really does pay off! 💪👊🩵🖤

We were then spoilt by our generous Chairman, by attending a “chairman’s breakfast”; and boy were we spoilt (think we are going to need this week’s sessions for sure now!). Thanks again Tom & Dani for hosting! 🥓🍳🥐😍.

As per usual, we also had parkrunners elsewhere around the UK, local, and afar!

Clive was also keeping busy this weekend by taking on the Surrey 3 Peaks Challenge; huge effort their Clive an co. 🫡

But, saving the best till last, Sasha took on the huge challenges that is the Hever Castle “Gauntlet” yesterday. A 1.9km swim, 80km bike ride, and to finish things off, a nice half marathon trail run! I think you’ll all agree, absolutely phenomenal running there Sasha! 👊💪🫡

That’s the weekend caught up on, and now it’s time to focus on this week, before we roll out the black and blue carpet for Sunday’s Southend 10K! We’ll be there, and feel free to come say hi! 👋

26/09/2026

What a great morning with the RRC family, parkrun and breakfast! Thanks again chairman 🫡🖤🩵

23/09/2026

Is it Saturday yet?

To tie us over, here’s an RRC parkrun dump from last weekend; including a first parkrun for Howard! Him and Anthony certainly flew round at Hockley on the weekend.

RRC head out to South Woodham this Saturday, but first we have tomorrow nights effort session!
