Join the run commute

Get fit while getting to work
After launching last year, UMRun - the run commute group of The University of Manchester - is now back for monthly action.
The purpose of the group is to support those who benefit from using their commute to work as a way of fitting exercise into their daily routine, saving money and enjoying their passion.
The group is not just for established runners - we also welcome with open arms those who have decided that now is the time to get started. We are here support newcomers of all abilities. Everyone is welcome.
You don’t have to run your whole commute to be part of the group, as we know this would be out of the question for a lot of people. Maybe you get off the train one stop earlier than your final destination and run/jog the rest of the way to work. Maybe you prefer only to run/jog home. Whatever your preferred method, if you run commute in any capacity, you can join in the fun.
