Training at Nidd Valley Juniors

Nidd Valley Junior Running Club meet at King James’s School, Knaresborough. Sessions run on a Monday evening term time only. 6:20 registration starting at 6:30-7:30pm. ( these times may alter for the new sessions from September 2024 as there is a new committee)

We welcome all abilities to join and be part of a supportive team. We aim for the sessions to be fun and engaging and we have planned events and social activities. 

Under 12s (age 8-11) are in the main sports hall and the Over 12s (age 12-18) group meet in the girls gym. 

Under 12s generally remain on site in the main sports hall with occasional sessions running off site. During the better weather we use the outside facilities mainly on the top field, through the session the Under 12s cover the Athletic 365 programme. 

Over 12s generally run off site for their sessions exploring running techniques and building Strength, Stamina and Endurance. 

We run Winter and Summer race series and the point from the races enables them to compete for their name on the sheilds, certificates and medals. 

We have introduced over the last few years Girl and Boy Captains who have been successful with helping to put together the events. 

Our 12 junior members have competed in the Great Knaresborough Bed Race and have been very successful over 2022, 2023 and 2024.
