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 Kimberley Ravenscroft
This month’s winning runner has had an amazing running journey to date. It began at the completion of the couch to 5k in October 2024 - then fast forward a year, not only has she beaten her 5k time by 8 minutes, but this month she ran a personal best in the 5 mile and the half marathon at Worksop in a time of 1.57:03!
I know that running has become a big part of her life. She has spoken openly of this and how she loves the community and the friendships that she has made. She has been a great asset to the club and has represented us in the summer league doing 11 races and most recently taking part in the cross country at Markeaton and Shipley park. She can also be applauded for transporting many of us to races in the ‘fun bus’. Congratulations to our October Runner of the month, Kimberley Ravenscroft.
