Run Together. Stay Together.
ABOUT LUCY
I’m Lucy, a qualified England Athletics Running Coach and UESCA Ultra Running Coach, but more importantly, I’m someone who simply loves running and the way it brings people together.
The idea behind Sherwood Forest Runners was very simple. I wanted to create a friendly, supportive and social running group where nobody feels left behind or out of place. A group where the focus is on enjoying the run, having a chat along the way and supporting one another, rather than worrying about pace or performance.
There are lots of fantastic running clubs in the area, but I felt there was room for something a little different - a steady-paced, no-drop group where we truly run together and stay together.
Our runs are intentionally relaxed and conversational, with absolutely no pressure. If you’ve ever felt nervous about joining a running club because you think you might be “too slow”, this group was created with you in mind. We typically cover 5k in about 45 minutes, with the emphasis always being on enjoying the run together, rather than the pace.
Whether you’re new to running, returning after a break, or you’ve been running for years and simply want some company on your runs, I hope you’ll feel welcome here.
