Global Running Day is a reminder that running does not belong to a select few, and it is not reserved for those chasing times or racing medals, but instead belongs to everyone who laces up their shoes and takes that first step, whether that is for ten minutes, a run/walk, or a long stretch of miles.
If you’re looking for a simple, welcoming way to get active, meet other runners and build consistency into your training, parkrun is one of the best places to start.
It’s free, weekly, and open to everyone — whether you walk, jog or run.
If you’ve entered the London Marathon ballot for 2027, you’re not alone… not even close.
This year, a record-breaking 1,338,544 people entered the ballot — the highest number ever for any marathon in the world.
As we move into May, the days get longer and the weather begins to warm up. For many runners this feels like a welcome change, but it can also make training feel unexpectedly harder if you don’t adapt.
The final two weeks before the Manchester Marathon can feel strangely unsettling — whether this is your first marathon or one of many.
