Saturday morning delivered exactly what a Carn Runners social run should — great company, flexible routes, plenty of smiles, and a brilliant turnout.
In short?
The Saturday Social run was jolly splendiferous.
With options ranging from half marathon distance through to 7 miles — and everything in between, the run catered for all sorts of legs, plans, and paces. Whether you were ticking off longer miles or just enjoying a relaxed social run, there was something for everyone.
Routes for Everyone, Not Just the Fastest
One of the things that makes the Saturday Social such a favourite is the flexibility. Multiple pace groups, looping routes, and a welcoming approach mean nobody is left feeling out of place.
Runners could:
- Choose distances that suited them
- Run at a comfortable, social pace
- Loop back and reconnect with others
- Adjust on the fly depending on how the legs felt
It’s not about racing. It’s about running together — and that really showed on Saturday.
A Brilliant Turnout and Proper Club Vibes
Seeing so many members out together, in Carn colours 💙💛, sums up what the club is all about. Different abilities, different goals, but everyone sharing the same roads and paths.
There was plenty of encouragement, plenty of chat, and that unmistakable Carn Runners atmosphere that makes these mornings such a highlight of the week.
And of course…
Lovely Treats to Finish 😋
No proper social run is complete without a few lovely treats at the end — and Saturday didn’t disappoint. A well-earned reward after the miles, shared laughs, and a chance to stand around chatting once the running shoes were done for the morning.
Those little moments matter just as much as the miles themselves.
Well Done, Everyone 👏
A big well done to everyone who came along and made the morning what it was. Whether you ran long, short, fast, steady, or somewhere in between — you were all part of a cracking social run.
If you’ve not joined a Saturday Social yet, consider this your sign. They’re welcoming, flexible, and a brilliant way to enjoy your running with others.
Here’s to more jolly splendiferous Saturdays ahead 💙💛
