No!  One of the biggest barriers to people enjoying their running is the fear of being too slow or not a 'real runner'.  These fears are completely unfounded as the running community is generally one of the most inclusive and accepting communities you will find.  We have members who like to go for a regular slow jog for social or health reasons and have no interest in getting faster, and we have other members who do like to train to push their performance further.  At Tempest RC you will be able to find your tribe either way.

If you can already run 5 kilometers in under 50 minutes then you are welcome to come along for a free trial session before deciding whether to joint the club.  If you are just starting out then we run regular beginner's groups aimed at getting from 'couch to 5K' before deciding whether to join the club at the end of the beginner's course.  Either way just get in touch and we will be happy to discuss.
