A school community run club bringing learners and staff together to get active, support their wellbeing and build a stronger Brannel community.
Thursday 5 November 2026 · 3:30pm
Walk, jog or run — everyone is welcome.
Welcome to Brannel Nation Run Club — our school community running initiative, proudly supported by VX3.
We believe that every step counts. Whether you already enjoy running, want to improve your fitness or simply fancy trying something new, our run club is an opportunity to get active, spend time with others and be part of something positive.
There is no pressure to be the fastest, run the furthest or compete against anyone else. You can walk, jog or run at a pace that works for you.
Our aim is simple: to support healthier bodies, healthier minds and a happier, more connected Brannel community.
You don't have to be a runner to join. You just have to turn up.
Every Thursday 3:30pm, straight after school. Around Brannel
Our route takes place around the school site.
The meeting point and route instructions will
be confirmed by the school.
Everyone is welcome
Learners and staff can join in, whatever their
fitness level. Walk, jog or run at your own pace.
An 800m loop
Complete as many laps as suit your goals,
whether you're starting out or pushing yourself

Who can take part?
What's the route?
Our 800m route gives everyone the opportunity to set their own personal challenge. You decide how far you want to go, whether that means completing a single lap or building up to a longer distance over time.
1 mile — 2 laps
A great starting point for anyone looking to get moving.
2 miles — 4 laps
Build your confidence and challenge yourself to go a little further.
3 miles — 6 laps
Set yourself a longer-distance goal and celebrate your progress.
These are suggested distance challenges, not performance targets. Walk, jog, run or take breaks whenever you need to — the most important thing is taking part.
We are proud to have VX3 supporting Brannel Nation Run Club, helping us get this exciting initiative off the ground.
Thanks to their support, we have exclusive club T-shirts to help bring our community together, alongside a loyalty scheme designed to celebrate commitment and regular participation.
