Get to know the Club
Although we're a run club at heart, we like to think we are so much than that to our members! We're a community of friendly, fun and fabulously driven runners and triathletes. With more than 120 current members you can be sure there will be someone with similar interests to you. For those starting out, or returning to running, we host an annual Couch to 5KM programme, for those more experienced, we have members completing Ultra Marathons, too!
Of course, keen cyclists and swimmers enjoy our Triathlon events, and something that appeals to most, our regular social events bring people of all abilities together for a chance to catch up in 'normal' clothing.
We host run sessions most days of the week, typically from Ponteland Leisure Centre, and we have a plethora of ParkRuns, Race events and Long Runs taking place each month. Find out more about our training on the Train With Us pages.
A little about us
We're a club that welcomes all new members regardless of their experience, goals and ability. We have a huge range of ages, paces and interests across our members - from twenty somethings taking part in ParkRun to seventy somethings still competing, too! We also have a lot of casual runners who simply enjoy their training for health and fitness. We strive to be inclusive and supportive, whether you wish to win your next race or simply meet like minded runners for new friendships!
Past and Present
We've now grown in numbers and in ambition! We hope to be one of the North East's most inclusive running clubs, both in terms of training abilities, session times, and access. Whatever your run journey, background or goals there will be something for you at Ponteland Runners and Ponteland Triathlon.
As of 2026, we have something planned five days of the week for runners across our Wednesday workouts, Friday social runs, Sunday long runs, Saturday ParkRuns and more. Find full details of upcoming run training sessions for members, planned races and popular Club Championship events in the links below.

Being part of Ponteland Runners has not only given me confidence in my running, but also in competition and trying new sports. I can't recommend joining them enough!
