Friendly local running in the Dorset countryside 

Corscombe Running Group

Friendly running, beautiful countryside and good company.

We're an informal group of local runners based around Corscombe, exploring the lanes, trails and surrounding villages of West Dorset.

Whether you're new to running, getting back into it or training for your next big challenge, you're welcome to join us.

No need to be fast, no complicated membership and no pressure to perform. Just turn up, enjoy the miles and meet some good people along the way.

Our Regular Outings

Wednesday — Midweek Miles

Longer runs, shared goals and good company.

Fancy some company on your longer run?

Our Wednesday evening outings are an opportunity to build endurance, prepare for upcoming races or simply enjoy exploring the countryside together.

Routes, distances and pace vary depending on who's joining us and what people are working towards.

From building towards your first 10K to preparing for a marathon, sometimes the miles feel easier with a bit of company.

Expect plenty of conversation, shared encouragement and the occasional discussion about trainers, training plans and snacks!

Saturday — The Saturday Plod

9:00am | Around 5K | Approximately one hour

Our regular relaxed social run around Corscombe.

No racing, no pressure and no need to worry about your pace. We take things steadily, regroup when needed and enjoy the countryside together.

Come along for the exercise, the conversation or just an excuse to get outdoors. There's often time for a coffee afterwards, too.

Running Towards Something?

Your goals. Your pace. Good company along the way.

Working towards your first 5K? Training for a 10K, half marathon or marathon? Trying to improve your fitness or simply make running a regular habit?

Tell us what you're aiming for!

We're keen to support each other's ambitions, share experiences and organise outings that help everyone make progress.

You don't need a race or a particular goal in mind, either. Running for the enjoyment of it is reason enough.

Come and Run With Us

New faces are always welcome.

Check our Strava club for upcoming runs and routes, or join the WhatsApp group to find out who's heading out.

Come for the run. Stay for the company.
