2027 marks 40 years of Hinckley Running Club, and we want to begin the celebrations in style!

At the start of the year, we asked what you loved about the club and what you would like us to do differently. We listened, and your feedback has helped us make some exciting changes to our annual Presentation Evening.

This year, you can look forward to:

✨ A fantastic new venue
🍽️ A two-course meal
🎶 New entertainment and a disco
🏆 Our annual awards and member celebrations
💙 The beginning of HRC’s 40th anniversary year

The Presentation Evening is about far more than trophies. It’s an opportunity to come together away from the running routes and out of the Lycra to celebrate the people, achievements and friendships that make HRC what it is.

Whether you completed your first parkrun, achieved a new PB, represented the club at a race or simply kept showing up, there is something worth celebrating.

There is so much planned for HRC in 2027, and this is where it all begins! 💙

Following last year’s success, we are doing it again, get your trainers on and join us for Quadrathon 2025!

Who will run fastest, throw the furthest and jump the greatest distance? Come and join us on Saturday 5th July (12pm — 4pm) at Pingles Stadium in Nuneaton.

It will be a fun day for the whole club and all Senior and Junior members of the club and their families are invited to participate.

The event will be similar to Juniors’ Quadkids events, with all participants taking part in a sprint, long run, long jump and howler throw on a real athletics track.

Everyone will receive a medal, and bragging rights will go to the winning team! The Seniors won last year so the Juniors have something to prove.

The run distances are:
– Sprint: 60m (Year 3 and below), 75m (Year 4-6), 100m (Year 8+ and Adults)
– Long Run: 400m (Year 3 and Below), 600m (Year 4-5), 800m (Year 6-8), 1500m (Year 9+ and Adults)

Senior members will be able to use their 1500m run for their standard times this year.

The event has been arranged to commemorate James Booth, Dad to Elizabeth and Katherine who are members and Young Leaders at the Junior Club and husband to Rebecca who is a member of the Senior Club. James even took part in one of Odette and Liz’s beginners’ groups. All entry fees for the event will go to The Brain Tumour Charity in his memory.

Special thanks go to Pingles Stadium who have donated the use of the venue for the event free of charge. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Runners rack up over 800 miles across five iconic cities.

Thirty two dedicated members of Hinckley Running Club have proven that grit and perseverance pay off, completing a combined total of over 800 miles in spring marathons across major cities — including Boston (UK & USA), Paris, London and many more.

After months of braving early mornings, freezing temperatures, and dark winter nights, the runners reached the finish lines of some of the world’s most famous marathons, collecting medals and personal bests along the way. The group was made up of a mix of first-time marathoners and seasoned long-distance runners, all representing the club with pride.

Charlotte Sinclair, Chairwoman of Hinckley Running Club, praised the group’s remarkable achievement.

“We are incredibly proud of all the runners achieving their marathon goals this season,” she said. “Training for a marathon is incredibly hard and takes a lot of time away from family — even missing out on events to squeeze in another run. They all deserve the utmost recognition for what they have achieved.”

The club’s marathoners were cheered on by fellow members and supporters, with updates and finish line photos shared widely on social media. Their accomplishments mark yet another milestone for the thriving Leicestershire club, known for its strong community and spirit.

With marathon season drawing to a close, the club now turns its focus to summer events including the Leicester Road Running league, where members will continue to inspire others with their dedication and passion for running.

If you feel inspired to lace up your trainers, Hinckley Running Club welcomes newcomers to join a free three-week trial and experience the benefits of running with a supportive and motivating group.
