We are a friendly, inclusive, local running club in Holgate, York, UK, and we’re affiliated with England Athletics.
We have social runs every Thursday evening with different pace and distance groups so there’s something to suit everyone. Come along and try us out and if you think we’re the club for you then join us as a full or social member.
Our social runs start at 6:45pm from the York RI RUFC, New Lane, York, YO24 4NT. Find out more here and join us for a run.
