Good people backing a slightly silly idea
Shit Runners Club exists to make walking and running more welcoming, social and accessible—especially for people who might not feel at home in a traditional running club. Our sessions will always be free to attend. The organisations below help us train volunteers, equip our clubs, reach new communities and give more people the confidence to get moving.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone helping us spread the shit.

Lakes and Dales Brewery
Official Beer Partner
Lakes and Dales Brewery is the official Beer Partner of Shit Runners Club.
It’s a partnership built around two things we’re rather fond of: bringing people together and enjoying a well-earned pint. Their support helps us grow new clubs, back our volunteers and create more opportunities for our runners and walkers to socialise.
Because not every good run needs a medal. Sometimes, a pint will do.

Want to support the movement?
Shit Runners Club is growing quickly, but our purpose remains simple: bring people together, get them moving and make sure nobody feels too slow, too unfit or too nervous to join in.
We’d love to work with organisations that believe in inclusive physical activity, better mental wellbeing, stronger communities and making running considerably less serious. Partnerships can be local or national and might include funding, equipment, volunteer support, member benefits, event collaborations or simply helping us reach more people.
If your organisation would like to get involved, message us. Let’s see what kind of shit we can make happen together.
Be Kind. Be Slow. Be Shit.
