About TRX Running Club
About TRX Wolves AC
TRX Wolves AC is a performance-focused running club for adults 18+, based in Wolverhampton, with a virtual membership option that allows runners to train with us and represent the club from anywhere in the UK.
We provide structured coaching, clear training principles and a strong club identity. Members may train in person or remotely, but all are part of the same club culture.
The club welcomes runners of all abilities. What matters is commitment, consistency and a willingness to improve over time.
We train with purpose, race with intent and support each other across road, track and cross country.
Renegades Training Group
TRX Renegades is an open training group made up of runners from a wide range of athletics clubs across the region. It operates within TRX Wolves AC and brings together athletes who want to train seriously in a supportive, inclusive environment.
The group includes runners with 5k personal bests ranging from around 15 minutes through to beyond 30 minutes. Despite this broad range, many sessions are designed so the group trains together, creating a strong shared training atmosphere while still allowing for individual progression.
Sessions are structured, purposeful and adaptable, supporting runners targeting distances from 5k through to the marathon. The focus is on consistency, aerobic development, controlled intensity and long-term improvement, rather than short-term results.
TRX Renegades is deliberately inclusive. It is for anyone who wants to improve their running and commit to a structured approach, regardless of club affiliation or background. If you already have a First Claim club and do not wish to leave them, you are very welcome to train with us by joining TRX Wolves AC as a Second Claim member. If you simply want to be part of the group socially and train without competing, this is also an option.
To ensure insurance cover and to support the running of the group, we ask all Renegades who are not First Claim TRX Wolves AC members to join the club as a Second Claim or social member. This involves a small annual fee, with full details below.
For runners seeking more individualised support, one-to-one coaching is also available alongside group training.

Our blog usually goes live every Sunday evening.
TRX WOLVES AC RACES
TRX Wolves Race Team
The TRX Wolves Race Team has many years of experience, not only organising races but also competing in them. As runners ourselves, we understand what makes a great event.
We pride ourselves on putting runners first. Our aim is to deliver well-organised, accurately measured races on quality courses, with a friendly atmosphere and excellent value for money. Rather than spending money on unnecessary extras, we focus on what really matters – a great racing experience.
As a new club, we're kicking things off with the Tettenhall 5K 16th September 7pm. Fast, affordable and designed by runners, for runners, we hope it will become a regular fixture in the local racing calendar. Whether you're chasing a personal best, racing for your club, or taking on your first 5K, you'll receive a warm TRX Wolves welcome.
This is just the beginning. We have exciting plans to grow our race programme over the coming years and look forward to welcoming runners of all abilities to our events.
TRX WOLVES AC RACES
TRX Wolves Summer Handicap
Our annual TRX Wolves Summer Handicap returns on
Saturday 8th August!
The race is approximately 2.5 miles on a completely off-road course, using the canal towpath and the old railway track. The start is on the old railway bridge opposite Compton Care, with the first runner setting off at 10:00am.
How does it work?
Simply submit your latest 5K time when you enter, and we’ll calculate your handicap start time.
TRX Wolves Summer Handicaicap race before, the
concept is simple: everyone should finish together! Of course, that never quite happens! Fitness changes, some people have a brilliant day, others have an off day... and then there’s the odd bit of “creative”
pacing when submitting 5K times! 😉
Whatever happens, it’s all part of the fun and makes for a fantastic morning of racing with friends, club mates and rivals.
The event is open to runners from all clubs and non-affiliated runners, and entry is just £3.

TRX WOLVES AC KIT
Wear it with pride!
One of the areas that differentiates us from other running clubs is our kit. We have a close relationship with Birmingham City University (BCU) Fashion Department, and our kit is exclusively designed, both garments and branding, by a number of designers exhibiting internationally and at recent London Fashion Weeks.
Over the next few months, we will roll out two kit versions. There will be a high-performance range developed and engineered for maximum performance, alongside a more affordable training kit for everyday use.
We understand that we are living in challenging times and that the cost of kit can be expensive. Through extensive research and development, we will endeavour to deliver a range of kit that balances the highest standards of performance with accessibility and affordability.
