Club Home

We are a small (approx. 50 runners) friendly UK Athletics affiliated social running club who meet at the East Christchurch Sports and Social Club, BH23 4JD for almost all club runs. Everyone is welcome, regardless of standard as our handicapping system enables everyone to be competitive at our club events. Our contact email is: club@christchurch-runners.org.uk


Our free Couch to 5k course (now in our 11th year) usually starts in mid April and is at 18:00 on Tues & Thurs for 9 weeks contact us for further details.


The 2023 Christmas 10k race was cancelled, due to safety concerns resulting from significant flooding around the course. There are no plans for a Christmas 10k race in 2024

Calendar of Events

Monday social runs of approximately 5km start at 6pm usually from the club house in Grange Road (but from various locations during July & August). Non-members are welcome to contact the club for further details, or just turn up and see if this is for you.

Our Weds training runs can be attended at 12:30pm (L-lunchtime) or 6pm (E-evening). Click here for Training Event Rules and Routes

Friday long runs (six per year) start from 12:30pm (staggered start)
