Regular schedule

What happens when

Nob End Run Club track night under the floodlights at Leverhulme Park Wednesday · Track

Track night

7:50pm

Leverhulme Park athletics track, Bolton. Meet 7:50pm, we're off at 8pm for about an hour. Structured, sociable and great for getting quicker — every pace has a place on a 400m loop.

Runners outside the pub after a Wednesday run 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 canal run group on the boardwalk 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.

Track nights at Leverhulme Park

Track sessions are the one fixed location in our week: Leverhulme Park athletics track, Bolton. Meet at 7:50pm, warm up together and we start at 8pm for roughly an hour. Sessions are designed so everyone works at their own effort — you'll never be lapped and left behind, because on a track nobody is ever far away.

Wednesday pub runs

When we're not on the track, Wednesday is a road run around Bolton at about 7:30pm — and in the lighter months we often head onto the trails. The route changes each week and almost always finishes at a local pub. Running optional for the drink, drink optional for the run.

Sunday runs & coffee

Sundays start at 9am unless we say otherwise, and they're relaxed: a road, trail or canal-towpath run around Nob End, Little Lever, Prestolee and the Irwell Valley, followed by coffee and cake. A brilliant way to build your weekly miles with company.

Where is Nob End?

Nob End is a nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest in Little Lever, Bolton, between the River Croal, the River Irwell and the Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal. It's the club's home patch — fantastic trails, towpaths and wildflower meadows on our doorstep.
