Shepshed Running Club is a friendly, local running club, welcoming adult runners of all ages and abilities. It was founded in 1983 by local runners and in 2023 we celebrated our 40th anniversary.
We warmly welcome new runners, casual runners, social runners, regular runners and serious racers. There are groups for all abilities, and we make sure everyone is looked after – resting and looping back to make sure everyone is included, at the same time as stretching ourselves to improve.
Our club nights are Tuesday and Thursdays at 7pm.
>> Please check NEWS for any changes due to weather or other reasons <<
In the lighter evenings we venture out into the beautiful surrounding countryside. In the winter, you will see us running around the myriad of streets of Shepshed. On the first Tuesday of each month we have an “away” run in Loughborough or somewhere like the Outwoods or Beacon Hill. We also have occasional early morning Sunday Social runs.
More details can be found on the Run With Us page, including when and where we meet.
The club participates in many local runs and races including the Derby Runner Cross Country and Leicestershire Road Running Leagues. You will regularly find us at local parkruns as well as marathons and all distances in between. Our local parkrun is Dishley – look out for one of us in a club shirt and say hello !
Every November, we stage the very popular Shepshed 7 – a seven mile race across Garendon Park.
We would love to see you. If you are interested in joining us, come along and try us out or email the chairperson: bottomley@ntlworld.com
There is no charge for starting to run with us. If you then decide to join, we have an annual membership fee, which also means you can run for the club. Membership information here. We also have club shirts, vests, hoodies and zoodies at very reasonable prices.
