Cool Runnings UK is a group for EVERYONE passionate about RUNNING!!

Your RUN is your run............. there is no judgement here.  Just support for individuals to achieve personal running goals - enjoying every step together in our warm community 

Based in Winchester, Southampton, Eastleigh and Virtually our focus as a club is to provide encouragement, support and company to runners from absolute beginners to more experienced runners.  Whether you are contemplating your first outing in running shoes, or are a regular to the running scene, we can help you with training, motivation and company.  We started providing courses in 2015 and we have seen over 450 individuals go from complete beginner to confident runners, many of whom are now club members running on a regular basis socially and competitively.   The most important aspect of our runs is to have FUN and meet new people.
