Every week
Wednesdays & Sundays
Two club runs a week, three flavours. Pick one, pick all of them.
Wednesday · Track
Wednesday · Road / Trail
Pub run
7:30pm
On non-track weeks we head out on the roads around Bolton — and onto the trails in the lighter months. Start point changes each week and we usually finish at a pub for a well-earned drink.
Sunday · Road, trail or canal
Sunday miles, coffee & cake
9:00am
Road, trail or a canal-towpath run around Nob End, Little Lever and beyond — then coffee and cake afterwards. The perfect way to ease into the week. 9am start unless stated otherwise — start point posted on our socials.

Tell us you're coming
Pop your name in the form so we know to look out for you. Optional — you can just turn up.
Turn up & say hi
Arrive a few minutes early. We'll introduce you and make sure you're not left on your own.
Community
Without its people, there is no run club.
Nob End Run Club isn't a route or a time on a watch — it's the people who turn up. The ones who wait at the end of the rep, shout you up the last hill and save you a seat at the pub. Every new face makes the club stronger.
All abilities
First-timers, returners, marathoners and ultra runners all run together. Nobody is too slow.
All ages & people
Whoever you are, you're welcome. Come on your own — you won't be on your own for long.
Good people, stronger together
Running is better shared. The miles, the mud, the pint and the cake afterwards.
