The Tone Zone Runners were formed in January 1997 when a small group of Tone Zone gym instructors (from the Arun Leisure Centre) and gym users started training together.

Their aim initially was to improve their fitness and complete the 1997 Bognor Prom 10km race. From these modest origins we have grown to the point where we have 130+ members (Nov '07) and regularly have 30 – 40 runners meeting to train together on club nights.

Through the kind assistance & sponsorship of the Arun Leisure Centre and Inspire Leisure the club is now affiliated to S.E.A.A. (our governing body under UK Athletics) and as such we can now provide the following benefits to our members:

1. Bespoke training programmes to help members achieve their full potential

2. Liability insurance cover whilst running with the club's coaches

3. Savings on entrance fees to races

4. Specialist running related services at a discount (see our Member Discounts page)

5. Free use of ALC changing and locker facilities at club training times

6. Official club vest

7. Entry into a ballot for guaranteed London Marathon entries*

The aim of the club is to provide members with a friendly environment with a good sense of team spirit so they can enjoy running with like-minded individuals.

We have different training groups within the club to cater for runners of all abilities from those who are complete novices to those who race to improve their personal bests. The Club also organises a series of Social Events (visit our social page for more information) throughout the year as well as off road runs in the Summer.

We meet on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 6:15pm (to start running at 6.30pm). We assemble in the meeting room by the café on the ground floor of the Arun Leisure Centre (see Contacts page for address).

If we sound like the kind of club you want to be involved in come along on a Wednesday or Friday evening and ask for a Committee Member or coach who’ll be happy to discuss your needs with you. Alternatively, you can visit our "How to Join" page, here.
