We have an holistic approach, and combine our love of running with the need to consider the benefits of building core strength, body confidence, and a positive state of mind through interaction with nature. To achieve those goals we partner with Formby Pool Trust, and the National Trust Formby.
Our ethos is closely aligned with Formby Pool Trust. which has found its place as the heart of Formby community. Many of our running club members are also members Formby Pool, and actively participate in weekly classes.
Discussions are in train for Formby Running Club to be Formby Pools official 'member led' running club partner. We both cater for the physical wellbeing of local women and men of all abilities within the community..
We are the only running club licenced by the National Trust to run through the land it manages in Formby. That means we're officially able to train, have our social runs, and race through the trails, dunes, and beaches.
Our club actively supports the dune restoration work, and several of our members are volunteers with the National Trust, as well as members of the Beach Litter Angels group. Our ethos is to 'leave only footprints'.
