Thinking of joining a running club? Why not come and try out Manchester YMCA Harriers on our New Runners Night!
We will meet at the Y Club reception at 6:30pm before going for a run. Don't worry about pace, this session is all about having a good run with the aim of introducing you to our club and lots of friendly faces. No one is ever left behind, so feel free to come along and give it a go whatever you're level with no obligation to join, so come and give it a try!
As a bonus, our new runners' run usually finishes a little earlier than other group runs. This is because we will have a social, where we'll head somewhere nearby for food and drinks. Look out for confirmation of the venue on our WhatsApp group.
We will run every pace group on the night, so you can join whichever you feel like.
