A weekly run club in the heart of Bristol
Started by Jay Medway in 2019 LHG Run Club is about equality, empowerment and community. We’re a group of friends who connect over our love of getting out into nature and testing ourselves through running. We meet every week to run together then catch up with a beer.
No Egos. No show-offs. Just good vibes.
Why Join Us?
There’s no divide at LHG Run Club. Just great people, all shapes and sizes, coming together to run as one, all equal on the road or trail.
Equality
We are equal out on the streets 
Empowerment
We’re a mix of every kind of runner, from first-timers to pros. All levels welcome. We support each other to reach our goals, in training and on race day.
We support each other
We meet each week to be with the right people, in the right place. Community is at the heart of everything we do. On or off the run, we support each other. No one’s left behind. Everyone’s welcome.
