Every age. Every pace. One club.

Run together and meet new people

We’re a welcoming community of runners from Buxton and across the High Peak. Some of us race, while others run for fresh air, fitness and good company. With active senior and junior sections, there’s a place for runners of all ages, abilities and ambitions.
