Description

 

Hello, fellow runners and cyclists (or all of you who are thinking about getting started :).

We are QMU Running and Cycling, a sports team here at Queen Margaret. Our aim with this team is to build a supportive and inclusive network of QMU students interested in running, cycling or both sports. 

This is a community where students can train and support each other while having fun, finding new friendships and training buddies :).

We believe that everyone, regardless of their experience level, should feel welcome and encourage you all to join us!

Last semester we to hosted a lot of social each week from pingpong, pub crawls to escape room, we had a vareity of socials which have been great fun for everyone. We are currently planning an exciting year for QMU Running & Cycling and can’t wait to share our training dates and acitvies. In the meantime, make sure to follow us on our socials, linked down below:)

 

Training Times:

Running:

Social Run: Wednesdays, 5 p.m., We start our run on campus and meet at the benches between the university building and accommodation reception. We usually run around 5km and split into different pace groups depending on the size of the group. We currently also offer a 3km beginners group for those who do not feel comfortable with 5km yet :) 

Long(er) Run: Sundays, 10:30 a.m., meeting at the East Meadow Playpark. Distance varies weekly but please feel free to add more or also just only join for a part of it :) We'll finish at different cafes in town with the chance to get a post-run treat and socialise. 

Cycling:

We are currently trialling different days and times to find out what's most suitable for all of our cyclists. There will be at least one ride from QMU per month, with the addition of circuit sessions either fortnightly or monthly depending on demand.
