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.

Runs and events
Our members have access to lots of types of runs. Our social runs every Thursday evening (also open to new runners) are the most popular but we also have fortnightly structured coached sessions, some evening easy runs, and we’re trialling early morning runs. Each month we have a trail run, and a parkrun of the month, both followed by coffee and breakfast / cake.
