Social Running Club

We are back for 2026-2027!

Whether it's your first run or you are training for a marathon, everyone is welcome in the Social Running Club. 

This is a mixed ability running club, and we aim to promote running for all, as well as being a social space for those interested in running or not. Come join us and have fun!

We plan to run twice a week and will aim to organise monthly events for all members to come together. This information will be found on our Instagram page or can be provided by our committee through request. 

Becoming a member will provide you with,

• Access to Join the pre-planned runs organised by the Committee/ Run Leads.
• All Members will have an opinion on where and when the runs take place; the distance of the runs; the theme of the run (different colours, seasonal, holidays); and what activity we do afterwards.
• All Members will have an opportunity to become a Run Lead and assit the Committee with organising and 'leading' the runs. 
• All members will have access to the Members Whatsapp group where you'll will be able to find other like minded runners to organise your own runs outside the club pre-planned runs. 
• You will be sent an invite to our Members Strava Group, where information regarding runs will also be shared as well as providing another space for members to share their own runs.
• Members will be able to join us on our planned socials. We hope to have regular coffee mornings, cocktail / wine nights and themed nights out on Worcester Wednesdays.

We will hold a variety of free-to-attend Give It A Go sessions throughout the year for you to give the club a try before committing to a membership.

We do expect everyone to make themselves familiar with our Health and Safety before joining us on a run, this is all stated below.
