What we're about

We're a mixed-ability club for runners aged 18 and up — from first-timers to competitive racers. Our coached Tuesday track session is the heart of the club, but the community stretches well beyond it: parkrun Saturdays, road races, cross country, and everything in between.

  • All abilities welcome

    Coached sessions are designed so every pace group is catered for. Nobody gets left behind.

  • Race with us

    From local 5Ks to marathons and the Manchester Area Cross Country League, we race as a club.

  • Simple, affordable membership

    £20 a year. Add England Athletics for race discounts and XC eligibility.

  • Member discounts

    Exclusive discount codes for Sport Shoes, Run North West, Running Bear and more.

Tuesday nights at the track

Every week, our coaches run a structured session built for all levels — intervals, reps, and progressions that work whether you're building a base or sharpening for race day.

Other days — member-led

Members run together throughout the week — long runs, hill sessions, and everything in between. These are not official club sessions and don't happen on a fixed schedule. Ask at Tuesday training or in the members' chat to find out what's on and get involved.

You'll often find Winston faces at Wythenshawe parkrun on Saturday mornings — a great way to get extra miles and meet the club.

What's on
