Event Coordination Made Easy for Running Clubs
Great events are the heartbeat of every running club. From weekly training sessions to big away-day races, they bring people together, build friendships, and keep motivation high. But behind every smooth event is a lot of organisation: routes to plan, schedules to set, and endless messages to manage. For many clubs, that can quickly feel overwhelming. That’s where Clubrunnr makes life easier — putting every tool you need to create, manage, and celebrate events right at your fingertips.
Simple Event Creation
With Clubrunnr’s user-friendly interface, setting up an event is quick and intuitive. Whether you want to add a GPX route for a precise 10k, set a distance for your long Sunday run, or simply plan a casual midweek jog, it only takes a few clicks.
Scenario: Imagine you’re the club secretary organising a Tuesday night social. Within minutes, you can create an event, upload the meeting point, drop in the 8k route, and set the start time. Members receive a notification instantly, and all the details are stored in one place.
You can also choose to keep events private for members, or open them up publicly to welcome new runners into the club. That flexibility helps grow participation while keeping you in control.
Build in the Details
Events aren’t just about the run — they’re about the whole experience. Clubrunnr lets you add schedules for warm-ups, pacing groups, cool-downs, and even post-run socials. This gives clarity to newcomers and makes planning easier for coaches and leaders.
Testimonial:
“We used to spend hours explaining the plan for each training night. Now, with Clubrunnr, everyone sees the breakdown in advance. It’s saved us time and makes our sessions run far more smoothly.” — Sarah, Run Leader, South Downs Striders
You can also include important extras like meeting points, transport details, or kit requirements. And with transparent participant lists, you’ll know exactly who to expect — no more last-minute surprises.
Keep Communication Clear
Strong communication is what transforms a plan into a great experience. With Clubrunnr, all the chat, polls, and updates happen in one place. Members can ask questions, confirm attendance, and even vote on details like start times or route options.
No more scrolling through long WhatsApp threads, digging through emails, or juggling between apps. Clubrunnr keeps everyone connected and informed, reducing confusion and making organising events stress-free.
Scenario: You’re planning a Saturday long run but aren’t sure which route suits the group. With Clubrunnr, you create a poll, and by the evening, the majority has voted for the scenic trail loop. Decision made, plan confirmed — and everyone’s happy.
Celebrate the Results
Crossing the finish line isn’t the end of an event — it’s the start of celebrating achievements. With Clubrunnr, you can upload results directly to the event page, whether that’s chip times, pacing splits, or fun run completions.
This digital record motivates individuals, strengthens camaraderie, and creates a growing history of your club’s performance. Runners can revisit their progress over time, while leaders can showcase participation levels to sponsors or committees.
Testimonial:
“Uploading results straight after parkrun tourism trips has been brilliant. Everyone gets to see their times in one place, and it adds to the buzz in our club WhatsApp on a Saturday morning.” — Tom, Event Coordinator, Epsom Oddballs
Share the Memories
Running is about community, and memories are best shared together. Clubrunnr’s media feature lets you upload photos and videos to each event page, creating a permanent gallery for members to enjoy.
From group finish-line selfies to drone footage of a cross-country race, these moments tell the story of your club and make newcomers feel part of something special. Over time, your club’s profile becomes a scrapbook of memories that members — old and new — can cherish.
Conclusion
Event coordination doesn’t have to be stressful. With Clubrunnr, every step — from initial planning and communication, through race-day organisation, to results and memories — is seamless. By putting everything in one place, Clubrunnr makes organising events simple, efficient, and community-focused.
That means less time worrying about logistics and more time spent enjoying the run, building friendships, and creating memories that last far beyond the finish line.
