Weekly Runs

Monday 6:30pm - 5k Social Run Group

This run ideal for new runners to the group who haven't joined for a run yet, as well as the regulars.

We keep a nice steady pace and take walking breaks as needed, however we recommend that you can complete a 5k distance in under 40 minutes. 

If you are still working up to this distance we recommend attending Tuesdays Beginner Group aimed at progressing you up to to 5k run distance.

Quicker runners are also more than welcome to come along and will usually sort themselves out into groups based on ability.

If you can run a 5k, but afraid you will be too slow, then this is the run for you!

Monday 6:30pm - 10k Social Run Group

This run is aimed at intermediate runners who are able to run a 10k. If possible, the group will split into different ability run groups.

We tend to alternate this run between a road run and a head torch trail run through the winter and then mainly stick to trail running over the summer.

Tuesday 6:30pm - Beginners Run Group

Our Beginner Group Run is a relaxed, supportive session designed for anyone new to running, returning after a break, or simply happy to run/walk at an easy pace. We focus on gradual progression, with plenty of walking breaks, encouragement, and a light warm-up before we set off. The aim is to build confidence, fitness, and a welcoming community — whether your goal is to eventually reach 5k, continue your running journey with our Monday 5k group, or simply enjoy run/walking with the beginners for as long as you like. If you feel a bit nervous about coming along, that’s usually a sign this run is exactly right for you. 

Wednesday 6:30pm - Maprun Group

For this run we post three different distance runs: Short (5k), Medium (7.5k) and Long (10k). 

Runners then familiarise themselves with the routes posted and then buddy up into groups depending on which distance they want to run and how quickly they want to run it. This means it is ideal for all abilities!

The one rule of Maprun is... no one runs alone!

Thursday 6:00am - Early Morning Run Group

This run is for all those early risers in the group or the runners that can't make evening runs. It is open to all abilities and there is often an option at the end to do a bit of extra distance if you feel you want to. Quicker runners either stop to regroup or loop back.

Saturday - Parkrun

Many of us are enthusiastic Parkrunners and frequently gather at different Parkruns in the area. However, Bestwood Village Parkrun, being the closest, tends to get the most consistent turnout from the Hucknall Harriers. If you want to quiz any of us about the group, Bestwood Village Parkrun is a good place to catch us!

Sunday - Long Social Run Group

We regularly organise a variety of Sunday long runs, ranging from local routes to those slightly further afield. We often vary distances to try to accommodate runners of all levels.
