Welcome to Bishop's Stortford Running Club
About the club
Bishop’s Stortford Running Club is a friendly, welcoming community of runners from Bishop’s Stortford and the surrounding area. With several hundred members of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to experienced marathon runners, we offer a wide range of training sessions, social runs, and events for everyone to enjoy.
Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, train for your next race, or simply meet new people who share your love of running, BSRC has something for you. Our supportive atmosphere, experienced coaches, and vibrant social scene make it easy to get involved and reach your goals.
We provide coaching and racing opportunities across all distances, from 5Ks and half marathons to full marathons and ultra runs, both on-road and on trails. The club also has an active multi-sport section, Stortford Tri, for members interested in triathlon, duathlon, swimming, and cycling.
Founded in 1983, the club recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Our aim remains the same as it was at the start: to help each other achieve our goals, big or small, and to remember that running is meant to be fun, whether you’re training alone or sharing miles with friends.
Where to find us
Our clubhouse is at Hockerill Sports & Social Club on Beldams Lane, just off the A1060 Hallingbury Road.
From here, we have direct access to the beautiful Hertfordshire and Essex countryside, including popular routes towards Hatfield Forest — perfect for scenic training runs.
