Wythenshawe, Manchester
A welcoming running club for beginners to experienced racers. Our coached session is on Tuesday evenings at Wythenshawe Park track.
Based in Wythenshawe, we are a running club of mixed age and ability — from beginners to experienced athletes — for runners aged 16+. Our main coached session is at Wythenshawe Park athletics track on Tuesday evenings. Members often arrange their own runs on other days — these are not organised by the club, and meeting times and locations change.
If you are a bit more competitive, we encourage you to represent the club in local, national, and international races. Alongside road racing, we enter the Manchester Area Cross Country League.
Whether you want to keep fit or train for a marathon, we are the club for you. Questions about joining? Contact the club secretary at secretary@winstonrunners.com.
Inclusive training, real community, and routes you'll actually enjoy.
Coached track on Tuesdays with progressions for every pace — nobody gets left on their own.
Road races from local 5Ks to marathons, plus the Manchester Area Cross Country League.
£20 a year for the club; add England Athletics when you're ready for discounts and XC eligibility.
Get access to discount codes for Sport Shoes, Run North West, Running Bear and more!
The club organises the coached Tuesday session below. For anything else you see on our older site or socials, check with members — informal meet-ups are arranged by runners, not the committee. Legacy details: winstonrunners.com/training.
A coached track session designed to accommodate all ability levels.
Lots of us still run together through the week, but those outings are not official club sessions. Times and meeting places change depending on who is free — ask at the track on a Tuesday or in the members' chat.
Many members head to Wythenshawe parkrun on Saturday mornings, and you will often see Winston faces at Wythenshawe community run and other local groups — again, those are separate from the club calendar.
Affordable club membership with an optional England Athletics add-on.
£20 / year

Highlights from life in the club — on the roads, the track, and the mud.
Our teams line up in the Manchester Area Cross Country League — a brilliant way to race hard, laugh harder, and represent Winston on classic Northern courses. England Athletics registration unlocks championship and league eligibility for many events.
Plenty of members head to Wythenshawe parkrun and other local runs in their own time — a great way to bump into clubmates. From there, people pair up for 10Ks, half marathons, and marathons across the UK and abroad when it suits them.
The coached Tuesday track block is the heartbeat of the club — structured reps, sensible progressions, and plenty of encouragement. Whether you are building confidence or sharpening for race day, there is a lane for you.
Dates vary each season — confirm with the club before you travel. We will keep adding fixtures here as the committee publishes them.
Always check the club blog or committee updates for the latest dates.
