Organisation description: We are a volunteer-run running club, and are affiliated to England Athletics. We are open to anybody over 18 years of age, and have a current membership of circa 170 members, with wide range of age groups and running abilities. We lead a variety of supervised social runs for our members, track sessions, hill training sessions, and also provide opportunities to compete in friendly club competitions, cross country, road, and trail runs.
We also run Couch to 5k courses 2-3 times a year that are open to the general public, which are supervised by qualified England Athletics run leaders, and this has provided a gateway into running and an active lifestyle for a large number of people in Salford over recent years. We also organise two races per year that are open to the general public; a Ladies trail race and a general entry trail race. Many of our members volunteer a local running events, including among others Parkrun, Manchester Marathon and Manchester Area Cross Country League.
We are based in Swinton, but draw our membership from across Salford, and also have members from Trafford, Wigan and Bolton. The club has an active calendar of social events, and acts as a hub for runners to find like-minded training partners, providing the opportunity to train in groups and feel safe when out running.
