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!

Lighter evenings, slightly warmer temperatures, looking ahead to holidays?

All good pointers for us to get out our running shoes. It may have been some time for some people, though that’s not a reason to put it off.

At Carleton Running Community based at Carleton Pontefract, we welcome runners of all levels of experience - from the super speedy runners to those who can just about breathe and still run, and those who like to chat all the way round!

Our sessions are designed for runners to go their pace and to be able to enjoy themselves at the same time. We are a friendly group who like to have fun as well as go for a run.

This is a running community rather than a running club - so we look out for each other, and do so out of friendship and consideration for all.

If you’re interested in coming along and trying us out, we would love to see you. We run from The Carleton pub on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.50pm, and you’re welcome to join us for a nice drink afterwards too if you’ve got time!

It doesn’t matter when the last time you put your running shoes on. It does matter when you next put them on! We hope to see you soon! 🏃‍♂️🏃⭐️

Come and be a part of the fun at CRC!

This St Patrick’s Day, why not wear green and come and run with the club that not just runs in green but also runs from a Greene King Brewery pub at Carleton Pontefract!

If you’re looking for a friendly group of people, who run and chat and have fun, and then like to enjoy a nice drink in the pub afterwards if you’re able to stop, then we have just the ideal group for you!

Our sessions are Tuesdays and Thursdays from The Carleton in Pontefract. We meet in the beer garden area at 6.50pm for a 7.00pm start.

We would love to see you this week!

This morning, Carleton Running Community made a donation of food to St Giles’ Food Share at The Circle, Chequerfield in Pontefract.

As a running group we don’t just like to run in the local community, we like to play our part in the local community too.

We are pleased to support St Giles’ Food Share and if you would like to help support them too or access them for help, then please contact Rachel Ryding, their Project Lead on 07411 973795.

Another fun week in store for our friendly running community. Why not come and join in the smiles through the miles with us?

We cater for all levels of experience and abilities. We believe in running together and having someone to run with, and to be able to run safely and happily round our local area.

As we aren’t just a running community but we play our part in our local community, we are holding a collection this week before our sessions starts for St Giles’ Food Share in Chequerfield. If you have anything you’d like to share, then we will be happy to pass it on for you.

We run from Carleton Pontefracton Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6.50pm. Why not make this week the week you come along too?

We are Carleton Running Community, a friendly running group based at The Carleton pub in Pontefract.

We aren't just a group of people who like running. We are a community who like to run together!

We aren't just a group of super speedy runners. We are a mixture of levels from those who fly round, to those who chat all the way, to those who are just glad to get round!

We aren't the kind of group who does our own sessions then disappears. We like to socialise together and to play our part in local community activities too.

We aren't a closed group. We are open and welcoming to anyone who wants to come and be a part of our happy group.

If you are free on Tuesdays / Thursdays then Carleton Pontefract is the place to come along to. We meet at 6.50pm until 8pm, and you won't be running on your own as we want everyone to enjoy themselves.

We are Carleton Running Community. We hope you'll come and run with us sometime soon! We'd love to meet you! ⭐️

As the lighter evenings start to brighten up our lives, now is a time when you may consider getting your running shoes out and finding a new running community to join and run with.

As a friendly group covering all paces and all levels of experience and abilities, we welcome you to join us and come along and have a nice natter along the way.

Our approach to running is that it should be enjoyable and something that we want to go and do, and by chatting with friends along the way round, whilst going at the level you want, we can all have fun as well as enjoy the run too.

We run from Carleton Pontefract every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6.50pm with our run brief starting at 7.00pm. We meet in the beer garden entrance just next to the main doorway to The Carleton, and some of us like to have a nice refreshing drink afterwards to enjoy the community aspect of togetherness.

If you're interested, then we would love to see you. If you have any questions, then please do get in touch. Hopefully see you soon! ⭐️
