Epic work on today’s hill pyramid session! 💪 I’ve never seen so many happy faces after some end of session hill sprints 😃
What a team!!
20 amazing athletes took part in the first quadkids event of the year at The Pingles Stadium in Nuneaton this evening and they were all incredible. We’re so proud of you all!
The Captains did a fantastic job of making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time and encouraged their teams.
A great way to spend a Friday evening in the sunshine
Quadrathon 2025
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!

Hinckley Running Club Members Conquer Global Spring Marathons
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.
HRC Hollycroft park hills session, Tuesday — Well done everyone who ran tonight, that’s a tough session.
Bosworth XC
🏃♀️➡️ Captain’s Report – Bosworth XC 
The weather played its part today for what we can definitely call a ‘proper’ cross-country race around Bosworth Battlefields. Mixed terrain with plenty of mud and of course the infamous ‘Bog’ which I for one was very glad for the rope to help you get out of!
With 29 runners on the day, Kate and her team clearing and setting up the course, along with all the marshals, race directors, course planners etc (the list goes on!) there are almost too many people to thank everyone individually, so a big thanks to all involved for making it a great morning. A very fitting ending to the XC season and a great showing of our club on the whole.
Team photo attached but as always there was a few warming up etc.
LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
Mixed team
AND
Men’s team
MASSIVE congratulations to EVERYONE who ran in any XC races this season – you ALL helped to win these!
I am SO proud of all of you – well done-Kate
Leicester Mercury, 8th Feb.
Our annual celebration is a chance to honour the incredible achievements of our members and the supportive community we’ve built over the years,” said Charlotte Sinclair, chairwoman of Hinckley Running Club. “From beginners to seasoned athletes, every member has the opportunity to reach new goals, improve their fitness, and enjoy the mental health benefits of running. We’re proud to see so many people pushing themselves, earning recognition, and forming lasting friendships along the way.”
18 men, and 9 ladies braved the cold elements for the second Derby Runner XC, held at Martinshaw Woods. The course was a mixture of open fields, farmers fields, woodland paths, a small section of compact gravel, and a concrete path over the motorway.
The wintery weather made it challenging underfoot as the ground was pretty solid in places, and the uneven terrain made broken ankles a real threat!
Well done to the 27 runners, you all ran brilliantly!
Hope everyone enjoyed tonight’s session as much as I did! What a great bunch you all are!! Christmassy outfits and great running up a tough hill, all done with big smiles.
Well done everyone who ran tonight, great effort put in by all 💪
Tonights session was:
Meet and retreat: Working in pairs of equal ability, set out in opposite directions and run the loop at 5k pace. When you get to your your partner, turn and run back. The aim is to arrive back to the starting point at the same time.
Rest for between 1 and 2 mins and go again.
Session length 30 minutes, changing direction half way through.
Well done on tonight’s session everyone, it was awesome to see you all working so hard!

Equinox24
Runners from HRC camped overnight at Belvoir Castle for the 24-hour Equinox24 challenge. Participants ran solo, in pairs, or as part of teams, aiming to complete as many laps as possible between 12 noon on Saturday and 12 noon on Sunday. This year, the weather added an extra layer of difficulty, but the team spirit remained strong throughout the event.
Perfect evening for a run up castle street 😆
Well done everyone.
And well done to our new club runners tonight, you smashed it
