We are an unaffiliated community running club, and follow best practice guidlines from England Athletics. Dogs are very welcome (in fact encouraged!) on our runs.

SUNDAY SOCIAL RUN: 09:00 St. Lukes Church Formby, L37 2DF
6k upwards, with cut-offs at 9k, 12k, 18k+ for anyone wanting longer distance. Speed of pace is not important as we use loop-back to keep the group together. We meet MOST Sundays though there are exceptions due to competing in local races.
TUESDAY Intervals 08:15 Freshfield Station Car Park
Intervals are a great way of improving your pace whether you're a 5k or Ultra Runner. An interval is a hard run followed by a recovery period, with that pattern repeated several times within the training session.
WEDNESDAY Social run: 19:00 meet at the Village Vets Ainsdale
Hosted by Pinewoods Wednesday (Facebook group). Around 8k / 1 hour through the Ainsdale trails. Speed of pace is not important.
SATURDAY parkrun
We encourage our members to attend parkrun. For those unaware, parkrun is a free social 5k event that takes place at 09:00 in approx. 20 countries througout the World. As long as you present your barcode at the end, you are given a time and a place. When registering for parkrun or when updating your profile, you can select Formby Running Club from the drop-down list of affiliated clubs.
We encoarage members to compete in parkrun, and local races; our regular run schedule is timed accordingly. If you're new to beach and trail running, please see the Run Routes tab.
