J and M Running

About J and M Running

J and M Running is a fun, welcoming and inclusive running community in Mid Sussex.  Since 2010, we’ve helped thousands of people to get moving and chase their running goals.

Based in Haywards Heath (but also running in Lindfield), we offer a friendly and supportive environment that has helped people get active and stay active with regular weekly running (and walking) groups as well as the occasional race, fun-run and social event.

We are a not for profit organisation with a focus on supporting our local community, including raising thousand of pounds for a range of charities.

Who’s behind J and M Running?

J and M Running is run by enthusiastic local volunteers. All of our runs are led by our experienced and friendly England Athletics qualified and DBS checked run leaders and coaches. Whether you’re training for your next marathon or just getting started, they will share advice and techniques that will help you get the most from your running, make progress, and avoid injury.

Our wonderful team of run leaders can help you to get started and learn to love running like we do.  We provide friendly, no-frills sessions so you can run with like-minded people.

Is J and M Running for me?

Our membership includes all ages*, sizes, shapes and abilities. This includes those tackling Couch to 5k, those building up to their first race, experienced marathoners and ultra-distance runners.

With over 150 members, we know you’ll find like-minded people at J and M. Beyond the regular runs, you’ll be able to join the vibrant community at socials, fundraising events, parkruns near and far, and even overseas running trips.

You can enjoy unlimited running with us for just £35/year!  And, before you join, we invite you to try out three run sessions for free.

[*currently our runs are only open to over 18s, but we can accommodate those aged 16-18 years when accompanied by an appropriate adult.]

When do you run?

Typically, we offer 8-10 guided sessions a week, as well as an 8-week beginner course starting in April and September each year. See the OUR RUNS page for further details.

How do I sign up?

Head over to England Athletics website and register for a Run Together account (it's free) and you'll be able to book onto our runs.
