Minehead Running Club
Whether you’re taking your first steps into running, training for a marathon, or just looking for some company on the trails, our friendly and supportive group has weekly running sessions for all abilities.
We host weekly club run training sessions for different abilities, along with regular social events and community activities. Our members often enter running events together, providing support and encouragement to train for big events or fitness goals.
About us
Minehead Running Club was founded 40 years ago to bring together local runners of all ages and abilities. Our members range from complete beginners to experienced marathon runners, united by a love of running and an enthusiasm for exploring the stunning local landscapes of Exmoor, the Quantocks and the West Somerset Coast. Affiliated with Somerset Athletic Association, we support and inspire our members to reach their running goals whilst providing a welcoming, inclusive and encouraging community.
This year we are planning to return to hosting our own local race, open to members and non-members. You can find out more about this and other local running events on our events page.
