Social Events
Alchester Running Club organises a range of social events throughout the year. These include summer evening social runs held at local pubs in the area. A few of our members ran the Paris marathon in April 2024.
Social runs
These runs replace the regular Thursday night club run on the nights in question, so look out for details in our weekly newsletter, and contact us on social@alchester-runningclub.co.uk to let us know if you want to come along. New members welcome!
Thursday 29 October
Club night with a Halloween twist! This run will be part of the Let’s Lift the Curfew campaign by Sport England to improve safety for running in the dark. Look out in the newsletter or WhatsApp for details.

Saturday 14 November
All members, family and friends are invited to join us for an evening of food and fun to celebrate another successful year for the club. Details and links to the sign-up sheet and awards nominations will be shared soon in the newsletter and members’ WhatsApp group.
Ridgeway Relay
We usually enter a few teams for the Ridgeway Relay organised by Marlborough Running Club each June, followed by a dinner back in Bicester in the evening. We encourage members of all paces and levels of experience to take part. It is a great introduction to trail running and a chance to explore some beautiful countryside just on our doorstep.
We entered two teams for the 2026 event, a faster one ‘going for glory’ and a not quite so fast one ‘enjoying the scenery’. Thanks to Jonathan White for organising us to get everyone in the right place at the right time.
