Common Questions
Everything you need to know about joining the BADRAT Runners
What is BADRAT Runners?
BADRAT Runners, Bridgwater & District Road & Trail Runners, is an England Athletics affiliated running club based in Bridgwater, Somerset. We’re a friendly, community-focused club bringing people together through social, road and trail running.
Can I try before joining
Absolutely. You can join us for up to four club runs completely free before deciding whether BADRAT membership is right for you.
Do I need to be a certain level of runner?
You don’t need to be an experienced runner, but you should already be able to run a 5k continuously and be comfortable joining a group run. BADRAT isn’t a beginner-to-running or Couch to 5K programme, so we’re best suited to people who already have some running experience and are looking for a friendly club to run with. We do offer an annual Couch to 5k programme in the Spring.
How do I join the club
Apply above and choose either BADRAT Club or BADRAT Club+ membership and complete our online membership form. Once you’ve joined, we’ll get you connected with the club and our members’ groups.
Are there social events?
Yes. BADRAT is as much about the community as the running. Alongside our club runs, we organise social events and activities throughout the year, giving members plenty of opportunities to catch up away from the miles too.
Where are the runs held?
Our regular runs take place in Bridgwater and the surrounding villages, with meeting locations varying depending on the session. We also organise occasional weekend road and trail runs further afield. Check our Club Runs page or public Strava Club for the latest details.
