How it works now
The details sit in old Instagram posts, busy group chats and club pages nobody updates. So people put off their first run, or turn up to one that doesn’t suit them.

runclub.info puts the answers on one page, checked with the organiser.
What every listing tells you
Pace groups in minutes per kilometre, set by the organiser and checked by runners who’ve been.
Whether the club is no-drop, and whether a back marker stays with the last runner.
What your first run is like: where to find the group, what to bring, and who to say hello to.
The date the organiser last confirmed the details. Listings that go quiet for 90 days are hidden.
Coffee, the pub or straight home. You’ll know before you go.
Women-only runs, LGBTQ+ clubs and the age mix, plus singles runs, labelled so you can find them or skip them.
For organisers
We add clubs from their public posts. Claim yours to add your pace groups, a note for first-timers and where you go after. Then use the page as your Instagram bio link.

Where we’re starting
The best-known Manchester lists name 10 to 13 clubs. We’re adding every club we can find, from the big harriers to small Tuesday-night socials, so you can search by area, day and pace.
We’re starting here because it’s where Tom is from. Other cities come once Manchester is right. Read our story

Questions
What people usually want to know before they try a run club.
Most social run clubs are free to turn up to. Some charge for coached sessions or special events, and traditional athletics clubs usually have a yearly membership. Every listing on runclub.info shows what a club costs.
Yes. Plenty of clubs have a slow pace group or a no-drop rule, so nobody gets left behind. Look for clubs marked beginner-friendly and check the slowest pace group before you go.
It depends on the club. Social runs often have groups from around 5 minutes per kilometre to 7 or slower. Every club on runclub.info lists its pace groups in minutes per kilometre, so you can pick one before you turn up.
Search runclub.info by area, day and pace across Greater Manchester: Ancoats, Castlefield, Chorlton, Didsbury, Salford Quays, Stockport and more. Each listing shows when the club runs, where to meet and what happens after.
Yes. Some clubs are women-only, and some mixed clubs hold regular women-only runs. Listings are labelled, so you can find them quickly.
