Monday Social Run

It's nearly time to say goodbye to the light nights! Tonight marked our final outing down past the train tracks from Preston Park for this year. Honestly, maybe it's a good thing... those hills certainly don't get any easier, and I'm sure they keep adding more!!

We had a smaller group out tonight, but that never stops us from giving it our absolute Monday best. It is a social run after all. We're out here for the miles and the company, not to chase PBs!

📍 Next Week: We will be heading back to Redcar for one final trip to the sea! 🌊 See you all there. ⚪⚫

THE GAVIN DUFFY MEMORIAL 5K IS BACK!

After a long break since COVID, Billingham Running Club are delighted to bring back this very special community event at Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park on Sunday 22nd November 2026 at 10am. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

The event is held in memory of Gavin Duffy, a much-loved and respected local runner. Gavin was a member of Billingham Marsh House Harriers, but his love of running brought him friendships with runners from many different local clubs, as well as recreational runners.

This event is all about bringing our running community together to remember Gavin and support a cause that was close to his heart.

Gavin raised money for many charities including Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice, and we’re proud that 50% of the proceeds from the event will go to Zoë’s Place with the other 50% going to Billingham Running Club's charity of the year NeoAngels.

Whether you knew Gavin, run for a club or simply enjoy running, everyone is welcome. It’s not just about racing – it’s about community, friendship and remembering a very special person.

⚠️ Places are limited, so get booked on early!

We kicked off our Cross Country training this morning ready for the new season starting in 4 wesks🫣

We are one of the few clubs locally that hold dedicated Cross Country sessions!

⛰️🏃‍♂️ HILLS, HILLS &… DID WE MENTION HILLS?! 😂⛰️

📍Great effort down at the Tees Barrage tonight! 💪🔥 Those hills certainly had us questioning our life choices, but there was plenty of grit, determination and the odd colourful word getting the session done! 😂

📍A massive well done to everyone who took on the Middlesbrough 5K & 10K at the weekend too. 👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

📍With tired legs still recovering from the weekend, tonight was all about putting in the effort without emptying the tank completely.

📍Now it’s time to recover, refuel and pretend we enjoyed those hills! 🤣

📍Recovery is key for the rest of the week — the legs will thank us eventually! 🦵😂

🏃‍♀️ Monday Social Run: Bank Holiday Shake-Out! ☀️

What a perfect way to round off the long Bank Holiday weekend and wrap up August. Hello, September! 👋

After the incredible buzz of Sunday's races, it was so nice to get out together for an easy run (well, for most of us, anyway!). A gentle shake-out of the legs was exactly what was needed, and the weather was very kind to us once again.

A massive thanks to Paul and Greg for leading the group.

Well Done to every single runner who came out. Week after week, you are all absolutely smashing it!

Next Week we will be meeting up at Preston Park. See you all there! ⚪⚫

And for anyone in Strava - We've set up a dedicated Monday Social Runners club. If it's not on Strava, did it actually happen? https://strava.app.link/lfOEaiyP35b

We are looking to bolster our already successful Cross Country team ready for the beginning of the new season in October.

You could be just what we are looking for........

Cross Country is a fantastic way to build your strength over the winter months to really make a difference to those road times next summer. Many of our athletes see the huge benefits and say that a solid Cross Country season is the extra factor come spring. So what you waiting for?

We participate in the NYSD league and local champs across the winter months and its really for all abilities. Our Senior Men are consistently top 3 placing, our ladies are improving year on year and we are home to the 13 time league championship winner Greg Jayasuriya. You could be part of something really special.

If you are new to XC thats great as we can help you, if you are with another club not in the league then you can join us 2nd claim and count for our team. We are open to all and we even provide a nice cuppa, biscuits, sweets and cake to keep you going.

This year we will also have junior representation for the first time in many years so if you are aged 12+ then we would welcome you too.

Let us know you are interested by filling in our form below.

🌟 Weekend Round-Up: Beyond the Boro! 🏃‍♂️

So, our biggy today was the Middlesbrough 5k & 10k... however, we have a couple of additional, massive shout-outs to round up our epic weekend of running!

⛰️ Bilsdale Show Fell Race (Saturday)

Mark Jackson thought, "back to the fells I go!" and took on a brilliant challenge out on the hills. And finally, he had some proper mud to deal with (because is it truly a fell race if you don't get a little pitted?).

51:13 🏅 4th in Age Category!

🌳 Parkrun Milestone (Saturday)

A massive well done to Kev Atkinson on completing his 200th Parkrun! 🎉 What an absolutely fantastic milestone to hit. Keep them coming, Kev!

⛰️ Hardmoors Roseberry Topping 10k (Sunday)

While the rest of us were taking it relatively easy on the flat roads of Middlesbrough, Pam Birch was out doing her thing on the brutal inclines of Roseberry Topping!

Coming in 1st in her age category like an absolute boss 🥇

Huge well done to Mark, Kev, and Pam for an outstanding weekend of achievements! It has been an incredible few days for the club. ⚪⚫

Distance: 2.4km

Finish Time: 17:18

Absolutely brilliant Mark!
