IS RUN UP FREE TO JOIN?

Always free! There’s no financial catch. Be sure to check out our T&Cs before.

How far do you run and at what pace?

We run 5km. The crowd dictate the pace, with the average pace being 5:45-6:00/km or 9:20-10:00/mile. Within reason, Run Leaders ensure you’re not left behind.

Is the route the same every week?

We run a rotation of 2-4 routes, with slight variations to keep you on your toes.

Where do you finish?

The routes end at Lancaster Castle or Dalton Square. We usually visit either Lancaster Castle Cafe or Brew post-run for a cool-down drink and continue socialising. You are welcome to join, or leave, at any point.

Are photos taken at every run?

A camera will always be present. Let us know at the run if you’d prefer not to appear in photos. Additionally, if you’re not comfortable with a photo we’ve uploaded, DM us and we’ll take it down.

You can view the latest photos in our gallery.

What should I bring with me?

Bring your own water, gels, waterproof, sun cream, or anything else you personally need. We don’t offer a bag drop service and we ask all runners take full responsibility of any belongings they bring along.

What if it rains?

It’s Lancaster, we can take a little rain! If conditions are assessed to be too dangerous, we’ll notify you beforehand on Instagram stories.

Do you have any rules?

We're all adults and we're here to have fun! Run Up promotes a safe, comfortable and social community for all who attend. Please be respectful to other runners and members of the public. We don’t tolerate any form of misconduct.
