Welcome to
Alchester Running Club

We’re a very friendly running club based in Bicester and were formed in 1999 with the intention of developing road, cross country and trail running in the Bicester area for all ages (over 18) and abilities. We actively encourage the social as well as the competitive aspect of the sport and whilst we like competition we try not to take things too seriously.

Alchester Summer 5k

 

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the annual Alchester 5k race on Wednesday 9th August, and a huge thank you to the 5k sub-committee and all the volunteers for their contributions to another successful event.

During the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, members of the club managed to combine running and supporting the local community by delivering prescriptions to vulnerable people who were unable to collect them.

Our efforts were recognised by this ‘Unsung Hero’ certificate from our local MP.
