Run club in Manchester
Didsbury Runners is a volunteer-run running club in South Manchester, affiliated to England Athletics and based at Didsbury Sports Ground. Members range from complete beginners starting with Couch to 5k to experienced racers competing in road and cross country events. A typical Monday club run covers 5 to 10 km in pace groups from 12 to 8 minute miles, each with its own run leader.
Weekly sessions are the Monday club run from Didsbury Sports Ground, with pace groups from 12 to 8 minute miles over 5 to 10 km, and Wednesday evening track intervals at Longford Park where everyone runs the same session at their own pace. Hill reps take place monthly on the cobbled hill at The Crown, Heaton Mersey, on the first Wednesday of the month. Through the year there are monthly off-road trail runs (often in the Peak District) with slower and faster groups, a race calendar, team entries in the Manchester Area cross country league over winter, away weekends and socials including parkrun meets and a supper club after Monday runs. A free Couch to 5k programme runs over nine weeks and is open to non-members. A first session is free with no commitment, booked through an online trial-run form linked from the website; membership is joined through the registration page on the site. Membership cost is not stated. England Athletics affiliated club.
