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 Sarah Guadagni
OTM January 2026
Many members have had a good month, especially those who have taken part in the cross country events in the winter league.

Alan Maplethorpe earned a silver medal in the county champs at Bulwell, Stacey Sangster and Dicky Wilkinson a bronze and Darlington Magalela a county gold.

Bruce Green performed well at Bramcote and Bulwell hall XC earning himself PB’s at both races.

Carly Hembury achieved 2 5k PB’s this month.

January heralded a crazy challenge for Marcus Lewis and Josh Green, as they took on the run 1k for each day of the month. This resulted in some whopping mileage for the month and I imagine some sore bits 👣 👏🏽👏🏽

But our winner of January’s runner of the month goes to a woman who completed couch to 5k in October 2024. She joined the club in November that year and ran her debut race at the Wilne 10k in September 2025, in a time of 1.19. 2 months later at the Shelton Striders 10k she took 9 minutes off that time and in January she knocked off a further 4 minutes to complete the Sherwood Pines 10k in 1.06! 🙌🏽She has also achieved 2 5k PB’s this month taking her time down from 36.40 last year to 30.37 this month! I forecast a fabulous year for Sarah Guadagni. 😁🥳
