An open & inclusive trail run club for adventurous beginners. Running the South Pennines, Peak District and beyond together in community

The Good Footers Trail Run Club

The Good Footers Trail Run Club was created for adventurous beginners to feel safe and free in exploring wonderful trails across the South Pennines and the Peak District together.

We are an open, inclusive and social community valuing connection over clock-watching and supporting each other over smashing times. We're about breaking down barriers of entry and focus on creating a space for people to explore the outdoors in fun and engaging ways.

You may or may not already run? Or you may be hiking trails and want to try moving a little quicker? You might like the idea of trail running but don't have the knowledge of where to go or how to get started? You may just want to join a group of like-minded individuals who are about supporting one another and enjoy getting outdoors together.

Whatever your reason, you are absolutely welcome to join our weekly trail runs, professionally guided, faciliated and insured with Good Footing CIC.

We carefully plan and run different routes each week starting at approx. 5k all varying in terrain and ascent. The pace will be easy with some walking in places and plenty of rests where needed. One thing that is guaranteed is the stunning scenery that you will experience running in the Holme and Colne Valley area of the South Pennines.
