Who We Are

Moor Road Runners was established in April 2022 by two friends, Phil and Paul in The Plough, Heaton Moor. The idea was simple - to create a running club where people can run, make friends and socialise.

With the unofficial motto Run Miles, Drink Pints, the club plans its events to start and end at either a café, a pub or a bar, so people can hang around after their run.

There are now over 700 members on Facebook and the club has a strong representation at Burnage Park Run.

There are runners of all levels and no one gets left behind. Some people enter events - 10km, half-marathons, full marathons, trail races and even 24-hour races, but many people just turn up for a social run... and a drink afterwards.

The club is not affiliated to UK Athletics and there are no membership fees. Phil and Paul have a side-hussle producing swanky club merch, and many members help support the club by buying running tops, vest, hoodies, hats and socks.
