Our club vision!

Our aim is to provide a friendly and sociable environment for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy their running whether this is for fun, fitness or competition. The club is affiliated to the British Athletics Federation and Midlands Athletic Association, and competes in the Hereford Cross-Country League in both Winter and Summer.

The club organises three races during the year:

• Tenbury 10k
• Mortimer Forest Hill Race
• Bent-Clees Challenge

We also provide marshals and timing services for the South Shropshire Sprint Triathlon.

The club runs a championship for members, consisting of one race to enter each month from April to March. Prizes are given for age categories and for showing club spirit by attending several races. See the Races page for details of upcoming races and championship standings. We try to provide a mix of races - short, long, road and off-road, so there is something to suit everyone.

How do I join in?

In Winter, Ludlow Runners meet every Tuesday and Thursday in the reception of the South Shropshire Leisure Centre at 6.45pm, ready to run at 7pm.

Evening training runs are usually between 5 and 6 miles, with the group staying together for the duration. Beginners are always accompanied by an experienced club member. Other runs are often arranged with other club members.

In Spring, Summer, and early Autumn we run in the beautiful countryside around Ludlow. For information on runs, click the 'Training runs' link on the left of this page.

Membership fees:

£10.00 per year for adults

£7.50 per year for students, job seekers and senior citizens.

£5.00 per year for juniors < 16yrs

£15 per year for families

Club vests are available for purchase at £9.00 each.

A social evening with a buffet is held on the first Thursday of each month at the Nelson Inn, Ludlow after the training run. Showers are available in the leisure centre after all training runs.

Members usually take part in races locally and around the Midlands, and will travel together. There is a local cross county league over the winter period as well as an active fell running scene.
