Carleton Running Community

Are you looking forward to Friarwood Festival this year? We are lucky to have such great events organised by volunteers in our community.

Some of our runners will be swapping their running shoes for normal clothing and enjoying the great festival atmosphere.

See you there? 🎉⭐️🎸🎤⭐️🎉

This morning we have delivered a number of bags of food and groceries donated to Pontefract Community Kitchen from members of Carleton Running Community.

Pontefract Community Kitchen are run by volunteers and provide help and support to those in need in the Pontefract area.

At CRC, we believe that we are not just a run club, we are a running community who have a responsibility to help our local community as well as run in it.

Pontefract Community Kitchen need help all year round, and they’d be very grateful of any donations if you can help in any way possible.

We are a friendly community of runners that like to run together and have a chat on the way round.

Whether that’s a social run/walk, a steady run, or a quicker run pushing limits together.

Whether it’s coached sessions getting runners to think and analyse their running to get the best out of their potential.

Together we are Carleton Running Community and we would love to see you come along and try a run with us.

We run from Carleton Pontefract on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.50pm. Why come along and come for a run. Some of us stop for a nice refreshing drink afterwards at The Carleton too.

Hopefully you’ll come along and see us soon! 🏃‍♂️🏃⭐️

As the Summer evenings are here, it's good to get out and about getting some exercise then having a nice refreshing drink together afterwards.

At Carleton Running Community we are more than a group of runners, we run with each other, we run to enjoy time with each other, and we run and have fun together.

We run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.50pm to around 8pm. We meet in the beer garden area at The Carleton pub. On Tuesdays you have the option of a 5km or a 5mile run - all paces suitable, even run/walks. On Thursdays we have a coached session and a group out and back run.

If you're looking to get some run time in whilst these nice sunny evenings are with us, come along to Carleton Pontefract and don't just have some run time but have some fun time too.

We look forward to seeing you soon! 🏃‍♀️🏃⭐

Have you been thinking about getting your running shoes back on again? Been a while since you last went for a run? Wanting some company for your runs at a comfortable pace where you can have a nice chat while you run?

Carleton Running Community based at Carleton Pontefract are here for you.

A social running community that wants you to enjoy your running, feel comfortable at a pace to suit you, and give you the environment and encouragement you can feel good in.

We run from The Carleton pub on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.50pm. We hope you’ll want to come and run with us sometime soon. Maybe this week?

June is here! Summer is nearly here! This is a great time to get out for a run with a group of friendly people who care about whether you HAVE a good time as well as GET a good time.

Our focus at Carleton Running Community has always been about being able to run happily, to be able to have a chat and talk to others as well as training and coaching for events for those who want to do that as well.

Our experienced coaching team are here to help you, answer your questions, provide FREE training plans, support our runners whether they are going for a 20 minute 5k or a 50 minute 5k, whether they are hoping to 'just get round' or to push for new goals and targets.

You may be used to running on your own or with a friend, but are missing some structure, the social side to running, or just haven't found a group that meets your needs.

At CRC, we are here for you. Why not come along this week to Carleton Pontefract for one of our sessions? Meeting at The Carleton is useful as not only is it a gateway to lots of varied routes out towards town, but also into the countryside too. There are always people who like to stop and chat afterwards and get to know each other over a nice refreshing drink after their run.

We don't just like to run together, we like to have fun together too. So, maybe we will see you at The Carleton soon?

Wow, did you see the London Marathon this weekend? All those amazing people doing fantastic in their running, all different speeds and abilities, and all being supported and cheered on by everyone. It was great to see!

So did it inspire you to dust off your running shoes? Can we persuade you to come and have a little run with us? Have you been thinking about getting running again but not got round to it?

Well this week is where you can make a big step towards achieving your goals. Why not come along to Carleton Running Community at Carleton Pontefract and have a nice friendly social run with us this week?

We meet at The Carleton pub on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6.50pm and run as a group at a conversational pace - some talk more than they run, and some run more than they talk, and some walk as much as they run - and we enjoy that variety and mixture!

Whether you’re looking for a group to run with or looking to find new running buddies, or just would value the structure a running community brings without the scary thought of a traditional serious running club.

Our membership is just £31 for the year and this brings you all our club activities and access to FREE coaching plans if you’re training for an event such as a 10k, half marathon, marathon or even further like an ultra marathon.

We have 2 coaches, 5 run leaders, and 3 assistant run leaders who are all dedicated to helping everyone have the best possible time. We want our runners to HAVE a good time as well as GET a good time!

So, maybe you’ll wander down to The Carleton pub this week and try us out? We hope to see you soon! 🏃🏃‍♂️⭐️

We have a good week ahead of us with plenty of running sessions for you to choose from. Why not come along to Carleton Pontefract to run with us on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

It doesn't matter if you can't make every session, just run when you can. We'd love to see you!
