Formby Running Club

Formby Running Club is a FREE to join, social, inclusive, running collective, for women & men of all ages and abilities, running in the pinewoods, firm trails, shared cycle paths and beaches of Formby. All we ask is that you're comfortable running 5k at your own easy social pace without stopping, and that you commit to joining us at least once a month.

Dogs welcome at all our runs.

Default meeting place is St. Luke’s Church, Formby, L37 2DF. We occasionally meet at Freshfield Station Car Park, 1 Montagu rd, Formby, L37 1LA, near Kiosk Coffee next to the station car park.

For all of our runs no one is left behind, faster runners loop-back to rejoin the group. We always build-in regrouping / hydration stops.

• SUNDAYS SOCIAL RUN 08:30 (St. Luke's Church): Easy chatty pace, with cut-offs to give 6k, 12k, 18k or more depending on individuals training needs. This is a social run so speed of pace is not important. Run Slower to Get Faster! *1
