The Basel Dragons Running Club

Our group meets every Monday and Thursday evenings at 18.30 under the Wettsteinbrüke (Münster side) at the entrance to the Dragon runners changing rooms. Our group also organises regular Saturday morning training runs(approx 10km and 20km) in the Basel area, meeting points vary.

Our group formed in April 2009 and has been growing fast ever since.

The club caters to every level - from people who have never run before, to people who used to run and want to get back in shape, through to advanced runners. We have 3 groups going out each week. The Beginners Blue group, runs around 30 to 40 minutes.

The team leaders’ aim is to motivate and give the runners plenty of advice and encouragement.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction!

In recompense for our efforts, we are always happy to return to the club house where we have access to secure, comfortable changing rooms, piping hot showers and last but not least, a great bar area where we always stop behind for a couple of cold beers and get to know each other.

In 2010 Basel Dragons running club had around 170 people running with us and 110 full time members.

We organised 21 social events from evenings out in restaurants to the End of year Birslauf party and the now famous Birthday party 2010 which had 187 people turning up to dance the night away.

In 2011 we hope to improve even further (half year 81 members).
