🌼 What We’ve Been Up To – May Update ❤️🖤

It’s been a busy and rewarding few weeks for Run Peterlee, with members really getting into the swing of marathon season.

🏃‍♀️ From trail marathons to the London Marathon, we’ve had runners taking on some huge challenges, while others are putting in the work behind the scenes with their training plans. The commitment and effort across the club has been brilliant to see.

🎯 It’s not just about the big races either – plenty of members have been quietly achieving personal milestones, whether that’s building distance, improving pace, or simply getting out consistently each week. Those wins matter just as much.

🌅 With the lighter nights and better weather, there’s been a real buzz around the club. More people out, more miles being shared, and plenty of good conversations along the way, it’s a great time of year to be running.

🏃‍♂️ Want to Get Involved?

👉 Our next Beginners Night is this Monday 11th May

If you’re thinking about starting running, this is the perfect opportunity to come along and give it a try in a relaxed, supportive environment.

* New to running? We’ll help you build up step by step
* Already able to run around 3 miles (5k)? You can join us anytime and get straight involved with one of our groups. We have pace groups from 8 minute miles up to 12 minute miles along with beginners.

Whether you’re chasing a goal or just looking to get moving, there’s a place for you at Run Peterlee ❤️🖤

💬 Drop us a message or come along – we’ll see you there!

🌸 Spring Running is Here – Race Season Begins! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤️🖤

We’ve had a fantastic start to the spring race season at Run Peterlee, with some brilliant performances already this month.

🏅 Middlesbrough Half Marathon
At the start of March, we had a great turnout at the Middlesbrough Half Marathon, with PBs all round – an amazing achievement! A flat course, great conditions and even better results made for a brilliant morning.

🌍 Run Peterlee Goes International!
This month also saw our first international race trip, with four of our members taking on the Lisbon Half Marathon 🇵🇹
Sunshine, stunning views and (we’re sure!) a few well-earned drinks afterwards made it a weekend to remember 😄

🏃‍♂️ Club Running Going Strong
Back home, we’ve been making great progress through our Monday coaching sessions, helping members build strength, confidence and fitness week by week.

Our Wednesday social runs continue to be a highlight, getting out and about across Peterlee and surrounding areas, combining steady miles with great company – what it’s all about!

January can be a tough month for motivation, but Run Peterlee members absolutely smashed it. A huge well done to everyone who took part in RED January, committing to daily movement, prioritising mental wellbeing and supporting one another throughout the month. Every mile, run and effort truly counted 👏

🏃‍♀️ Racing Through January
We also had members representing the club at some fantastic events, including Druridge Bay and the Newcastle 10k. Great performances all round and brilliant to see the red and black out on race courses.

👟 Showing Up Matters
A massive shout-out to everyone who’s turned up week in, week out on club nights. January miles aren’t always easy, but the consistency, encouragement and friendly faces make all the difference.

🍻 Wednesday Social Runs
Our Wednesday night social runs continue to be a firm favourite – relaxed miles, good chats and plenty of laughs afterwards. These nights really highlight what Run Peterlee is about: Loyalty, Strength & Kinship.

From brand-new runners gaining confidence to experienced members pushing their limits, January has shown once again that running is better when shared.

🏃‍♀️ Beginners Session – This Monday

We have a Beginners Session this Monday for anyone wanting to start their running journey. We know taking that first step can feel daunting, but you won’t be on your own. We’ll have a dedicated Beginners Leader to guide and support you, helping you build confidence at your own pace.

Already able to run a little? You’re more than welcome to join any of our other pace groups too – we have groups to suit all abilities.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. A big well done to those who joined us this morning for our Boxing Day Beach Run – a much-loved club tradition and the perfect way to blow away the festive cobwebs! 🌊🏃‍♂️

It’s been great to see so many of you enjoying our festive runs, and a huge well done to everyone who’s been out competing in events over the holiday period.

🤠 Christmas Party Fun!
We had an amazing night at our Christmas party at Hardwick Hall Hotel this weekend. With a Country-themed night, our members fully embraced the theme — hats, boots, checks and all! A brilliant evening of laughter, dancing and celebrating another fantastic year of running together.

🏃‍♂️ Sunderland 10k Success
A big well done to our runners who took on the new RunThrough North East Sunderland 10k, starting from Roker. A fantastic event with a fresh new route, and definitely one we’re already excited for next year!

🍻 Social Nights Going Strong
Our Wednesday social runs continue to be a highlight each week, and we’re enjoying trying new venues — this week taking us to Mateo’s in Castle Eden for a well-earned post-run catch-up. These nights really show the strength of our club community.

🟢 Parkrun Adventures
One of our members attended the second ever parkrun at Elemore Patk this weekend — making it our third local parkrun option. Great to see our club supporting and exploring new events in the area.

🌍 A huge well done to Jan, who last weekend completed the New York Marathon – her fifth World Major! What an incredible achievement. She’ll soon be back in marathon training, preparing for her final Abbott World Marathon Major in Tokyo 2026 to complete the full set. Truly inspirational! 👏

🏃‍♂️ Closer to home, John, Chelsea, Kirsty and Andrew took part in the Tommy Run, completing both the 5k and 10k distances. A fantastic local event and a brilliant morning for the team.

🎖️ On Remembrance Sunday, Marko and Jan represented the club at the Remembrance Day Saturn Run, while the rest of the club marked the occasion by running to several war memorials across the area. David also completed the Para’s 10 “For the Fallen” run – well done to everyone who took the time to run and pay their respects. ❤️

🍁 The club has also been enjoying plenty of autumnal runs – both together and solo – making the most of the crisp weather and colourful trails.
