Welcome to the St Cyrus Solos

Established in 2016, St Cyrus Solos Running Club has grown to be a very popular group in South Aberdeenshire. Teamwork, fun and no fear of hills are the hallmarks of St Cyrus Solos Running Club. 

We carry out a variety of running training, from plods to sprints and hill sessions.  Our sessions are sociable and we alter them to suit everyone so that we all get the most from each run. At present we have a variety of members, from plodders to marathon runners.  We meet twice weekly - Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 1930, at the St Cyrus Village Hall.

The club is affiliated with ARC (runningclubs.org.uk).  This affiliation entitles you to discounted rates any many races. 

Joining the St Cyrus Solos couldn't be any easier, whether you're a beginner or experienced running, we would be delighted to have you along. You can run with us for a couple of weeks, with no obligation to join. If you enjoy the club atmosphere, then you can sign up and become a member.    How often you run with us, whether it be a few times a year or every session, is completely up to you.

Who are the Solos?

The whole thing started as a bit of a joke... Si made an advert in the St. Cyrus newsletter asking if anyone wanted to start a running club, and had no response. The next trip offshore, stickers appeared on his coveralls "St Cyrus Solos, Running Club". He truly was the St Cyrus Solo.

Spurred on by his colleagues (mainly because they were hoping to laugh at his expense) he made another advert in the newsletter and was able to get a couple of bites.

After a few months there was a solid group of regular runners, in 2023 we reached over 100 members, and are still going from strength to strength.  To learn more about Si's running journey, click here

Defibrillators

In 2019, the Solos raised funds for a defibrillator in the village. Thanks to the generosity of many people, as well as several local businesses and clubs, we raised funds for two defibrillators.  One is located on the side of Morrisons Village shop on the Main road, the second is located on the side of St Cyrus Primary school.  The club looks after these defibrillators and ensures their ongoing maintenance.  Defib finder.
