Manchester Running Club is a welcoming community for runners of all ages and experience levels. If you’ve participated in a local road race, chances are you’ve seen our singlets leading the pack, in the middle, and bringing up the rear.
We’re a casual yet organized group with no performance expectations—just a shared love of running. Our members come from all over the state, and even into Massachusetts and beyond.
Come Run With Us
We meet regularly throughout the week:
- Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. – Manchester High School track or the adjacent parking lot
- Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. – Marathon Sports in Glastonbury
- Saturdays – Rotating locations in the Manchester/Hartford area
In addition to these scheduled meetups, smaller groups and running partners often get together throughout the week.
The Tuesday group typically comprises 10–25 runners of varying paces. We usually begin with a light warm-up in the neighborhood or on the track, followed by stretching, a workout, and a cool-down. Some participants team up and follow their own plan, but the camaraderie of being together is what makes it special!
Everyone is welcome to join. Please note that our group runs are unofficial; we do not hold permits with the town, and the town may ask us to vacate the track at any time.
By participating in a group run, you agree to hold Manchester Running Club, its members, and directors harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, injuries, or damages of any kind.
