Meet our local Run Club..
We are Chorlton Runners – ALL Kinds of running for all kinds oF runners!
We’re one of the largest clubs in the North West, so whatever kind of running you want to do, at whatever pace, from beginners to experienced runners, you’ll probably find someone to run with you in our club.
We cover Chorlton, Whalley Range, Stretford, Sale, Urmston, Didsbury, Withington, and Moss Side.
Come down to our Club House at The Bowling Green on Sunday Morning to meet us, or try out a Tuesday Evening Club Run.
You can run with people who are just starting their running journey or join one of the many groups which match your pace and fitness levels.
Our RUNNING Sessions
We have sessions most days of the week! They are open to all members. If you are new, then you can come to a few sessions to try the club out as a trial before committing to joining. All sessions are free to members (although we pay to use the Track at Longford Park)
Tuesday: Club Run 18:45/19:00 at the Bowling Green pub.
This is one of our core sessions. Groups of up to 15 go out for a run of 4-7 miles with a set pace and breaks when needed. We tend to be finished by 20:15 and then there is a social chat in the pub afterwards.
Sunday: Club run 09:00 at the Bowling Green pub
Similar to a Tuesday but more relaxed. Groups will go from 6 miles (10km) up to even 22 miles (35km). This depends on the time of year and people’s training plans for races. Don’t worry, we always make sure there is a group for everyone.
The groups at 18:45 are for groups that run at 9 mins/mile (5:40 mins/km) up to 12+ mins/mile (7:30 mins/km) in increments.
The 19:00 groups are for 9 mins/mile (5:40 mins/km) down to sub 7 mins/mile (4:20 mins/km).
Runs are led by our fantastic run leaders and you won’t get left behind.
Tuesday: Speed training 18:30, location seasonal (Members Only)
Summer: Gas Post at Turn Moss https://maps.app.goo.gl/YboEJJaDTHSnEN9SA
Winter: Longford Park track (£4 for the track use)
Coached sessions which are tailored to where we are in the season. We usually run for set blocks of time, all starting and finishing together. All abilities are welcome but these sessions are designed to improve your basic body strength, skill, and speed. You will be pushed!
Wednesday: Hill and Fell 18:30 (usually), location changes but outside of Manchester, enquire to find out.
Full FRA kit is required and in the winter a head torch too. Lifts are often available from Chorlton and we meet at a pub. After the run, there is usually food available (pre-booking recommended).
We try to split into two or three groups of different speeds and strengths so everyone is challenged without feeling like they are slowing others down. We also have a Lambs group especially for runners new to the hills.
Friday: Track 18:30 Longford Track (Members Only)
A second coached session of the week. It is more intervals at the track to help you build your speed. You get out what you put into it.
You can also find us on social media, or click here to become a member.
