Meet Our Local Sports Club – Stretford Run Club..

Stretford Run Club is a friendly, free community running club based in the heart of M32. We meet every week to bring people together through running and a good chat.

We started Stretford Run Club in November 2023, we wanted to create an inclusive space where anyone could turn up, feel welcome and run at their own pace. What began as a few of us meeting at the Longford Tap has grown into a thriving community, and we’re now celebrating our second birthday.

Our main club night is Monday at 7pm, starting from The Longford Tap in Stretford. We run a conversational paced 5km route around the local area with dedicated run leaders at the front and back so no one is ever left behind. We also meet at Stretford Parkrun on Saturday mornings and host a monthly Sunday Long Run, followed by a well-earned coffee at Swig.

Over the last two years we’ve organised plenty of social events, cheer squads for Manchester races, and even a holiday and race abroad, all with the aim of helping people feel more connected to Stretford and to each other. Many of our members have found new friends, training partners and even the confidence to sign up for their first races.

If you’d like to get involved, you can follow us on Instagram at @stretfordrunclub for our latest routes, events and meet-ups, or simply come along on a Monday night and say hello.
