THIS IS NOT YOUR ORDINARY RUNNING CLUB...

Here at Llangollen Running Club, we love our running, of course, but there is MORE to us than pace charts, elevation stats and debates about trail versus road. We like to have FUN!

In fact, the social side of the club is so important, we have two social secretaries! Jenny and Simon organise many fun, non-running events throughout the year, including our annual old-school sports day, quiz nights, darts, tiddly winks, you name it!

And once a year our chair, David, organises the Llan Run Club Scavenger Hunt. Last week's event saw 5 intrepid teams head out in search of clues and silly photo opportunities, all culminating in a pint at the Chainbridge Hotel. A lot of fun was had by all, runners of all abilities took part, and as always, nobody got left behind!

So yes, we do love our running here at the club, but we also love a bit of silliness too!

What a fabulous turnout we had for our ‘Own the Night’ run on Tuesday.
And it was lovely to see some new faces too 😄.

Everyone supporting and looking out for each other is a big part of what this club stands for (and cake obvs 🍰!!)

Of course it’s not just about one night. We are here throughout the dark winter nights when it’s hard enough to drag ourselves out of a warm house, let alone having to worry about running safely alone. We cater for all abilities and no one ever gets left behind.

Llangollen Running Club are hosting a free social run event in support of the Welsh Athletics National campaign ‘Own the Night’.

Date: Tuesday 28 October 2025
Time: 6.00-7.30 p.m.
Place: Llangollen Sports Club , Tower Rd LL20 8TE

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of women’s safety whilst running. More details about the campaign are here - https://www.welshathletics.org/en/page/own-the-night

Our aim is to provide a safe, supportive place where everyone feels able to run during this event; and throughout the darker nights of autumn and winter.

Everyone is welcome to join us (men and women) to either run or run/walk. We will have a couple of runs - one will be around 5k at a very chatty pace; the other a little longer. No one will get left behind!

The event is free, however pre registration is essential for non members. Please email us on [email protected] for more details.

Hot drinks and cake/biscuits will provided at the end - plus a chance to socialise 😊

For anyone not able to run but would like to find out more about the club or the campaign; do come along any time between 6.00-7.30 p.m. Some of our lovely members will be in the clubhouse and happy to chat.

Please wear high visibility clothing for the run event + bring a head torch if you have one.

Women’s running across Wales is at an all-time high, with more females than ever before regularly lacing up their trainers to enter mass participation races, join clubs and groups, or to simply run for their physical and mental wellbeing. It’s been well documented that women’s p...
