Long Eaton Running Club
Long Eaton Running Club is a friendly running club with over 300 members. We are a diverse group. We have notable success in helping to get people in the local area running through the Couch-to-5k programme, we are enthusiastic supporters of our local parkrun, and we are very successful in local competition.
Club nights are on Tuesday and Thursday each week; meeting at West Park Leisure Centre from 6.20pm onwards. There is a pre-run briefing at 6.30pm, with the run following soon afterwards. There are usually at least two options for distance and, if you are new to the club, you will be paired with a similar-paced runner to make sure you don't get lost. We offer trial membership for 4 weeks. So if you fancy a run with us, just drop us a message to let us know you will be coming along and then make yourself known when you arrive.
To get a feel for what the club is like ahead of your visit, please take a look around this website or our facebook page. Read more about us here

Runner of the Month
Congratulations to Karen Galer
This has to be one of the hardest months to single out one person to be our ‘ Runner of the month’ as there are so many races that many of our club members take part in. It was also incredibly difficult to choose between two fabulous runners.
This person began July with a course best at Smalley 5 Bells, running a time of 39.11 and placing 2nd in her age category.
Her next success came at Beeston parkrun on the 12th with a 26 second improvement to take her to a 22.59 PB. A mere 4 days later she ran in the Notts road race league at Worksop, where she gained a PB time of 36.33. A week later at The Run she put in another great performance and ran 29.37, a PB and placed 3rd in her age category.
She is currently in 3rd place having done 9 races in our summer league and we wish her well as she completes her 10th race.
Huge congratulations to our July winner Karen Galer. ðŸ‘ðŸ½ðŸ‘ðŸ½ðŸ‘ðŸ½
As I said it was a very difficult month to choose as a special mention has to go to Anna Baillee. Anna has had a fantastic month, also gaining PB’s at 4 miles, 5k and 5 miles and a course best at Smalley 5 Bells. I look forward to seeing Anna go from strength to strength 💪
Other honorable mentions go to;
Dan Hawley, James Fisher, Darlington Magalela, Emma Perkins, Helen Stout, Josh Green, Kev Roughton, Louise King, Kimberley Ravenscroft, Tracey Brown, Sarah Johnstone, Stephen Williams, Rob Dooley and Micheal Stokes. You have all had a superb July and would all be very worthy winners!
