West End Runners was founded in 1984 as "new breed" of running club with the aim of attracting members from a much wider range of abilities than the traditional Harrier style club. We now have members of all standards and ages who take part in road running, cross country, fell, and trail and triathlon events.

If you are an existing runner then ideally you should be able to run 5 miles in under 50 minutes but if not don’t worry if you cannot manage this get in touch and we will tell you when we are running our next beginners course during which we will aim to bring you up to this level so that you will be capable of joining us on club runs.

We like to think we are a friendly and social group with most Wednesday runs finishing back at the club for drink and a chat. We encourage the sharing of transport to races at weekends and occasionally arrange weekends away.

The best way to find out about the club is to join us for on one of our Wednesday runs. You don’t need to join to come on a run so why not contact us and come along and see if you like it.

If you decide to join the club then you should complete a  Membership Form available from the membership secretary and return it along with your membership fee. The membership year runs for 12 month starting in September and costs £21.00. Reductions are available for part year, unwaged, over 60's and students.

If you plan to compete in races then you will also need to purchase a club vest costing £11.50.
