Run Together. Stay Together.
A friendly, inclusive running community where everyone is welcome, every pace is valued and nobody gets left behind.
Welcome to Sherwood Forest Runners
Sherwood Forest Runners is a friendly, inclusive running community built around one simple idea: running is better together. Whether you're taking your first steps, returning after a break or simply looking for people to share the miles with, you'll always find a warm welcome here. Our no-drop group runs are steady, social and supportive, with the focus on enjoying the journey rather than chasing times. We leave egos at the door, celebrate effort over pace, and believe that nobody should ever be left behind.

Sherwood Forest Runners is proudly based in Edwinstowe, the historic village at the heart of Sherwood Forest. Surrounded by some of Nottinghamshire's most beautiful woodland trails and scenic routes, it's the perfect place to come together, enjoy the outdoors and share the miles with friends, old and new.

Our runs are steady, conversational and no-drop, meaning nobody gets left behind. We run as a group and support one another throughout every run.

9AMPARK RUN (SATURDAYS)
Join us on Saturday mornings as we meet at either Clumber Park Parkrun or Sherwood Pines Parkrun. Whether you're running, jogging or walking, it's a great opportunity to enjoy the event together before catching up afterwards. On selected weeks, we stay for a coffee and a chat, making it as much about the community as the run itself.
ONE SATURDAY PER MONTHmonthly social
Running is just part of what we do. Each month we organise a social get-together, whether that's a coffee, a walk or another relaxed activity, giving everyone the chance to spend time together away from the trails. It's all about continuing the conversation, building friendships and strengthening the community that makes Sherwood Forest Runners what it is.
