About

Welcome to Killamarsh Kestrels – Your Friendly Local Running Club!

Since 1988, Killamarsh Kestrels has been a welcoming community for runners of all abilities. We take pride in fostering a friendly atmosphere where everyone—from teenagers to senior citizens—can thrive. With a balanced mix of male and female members, we are inclusive and open to anyone who loves running.

If you’ve ever thought about running but hesitate to go alone, we’re here to support you. Join us on one of our run nights, and we’ll make sure you have a running partner at a pace that suits you. Our goal is to ensure everyone feels comfortable and motivated.

When and Where? We meet at the Killamarsh Leisure Centre (Stanley Street, Sheffield, S21 1EZ) every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 PM, with runners gathering about 10 minutes beforehand. Typically, 20-30 members join us for a run, making it a lively and enjoyable experience.

What to Expect?

• Undulating 10K Runs: Our club nights feature challenging yet rewarding hilly 10K routes that will push your limits while giving you a great sense of achievement.

• Safe Routes: In the winter months, we stick to well-lit pavements for safety. During summer, we embrace the scenic beauty of our local parks and off-road trails.

• Staggered Starts: To avoid congestion and keep things smooth, we stagger our starts. This also ensures that most runners finish around the same time, typically within 75 minutes.

• Post-Run Socials: Thursday evenings come with an extra perk—unwind after your run with a drink and chat at The West End Hotel (S21 1EU).
