Run With Us

Whether you’re chasing a PB, building fitness, coming back from a break, or just looking for good people to run with - you are welcome at Pace Invaders.

We’re a community-led run club built on consistency, inclusivity and showing up for each other. No egos. No pressure. Just good running, proper support, and a group that genuinely wants to see you do well.

Inclusivity Is Our Thing

Pace Invaders is proud to be a genuinely inclusive run club.

That means:

All paces are respected
Everyone is encouraged
Effort matters more than speed

What really sets us apart is the community. People don’t just run alongside you - they back you. Wins get celebrated, tough days get support, and progress (big or small) gets noticed.

You’ll quickly find that the people you run with become your biggest cheerleaders, on the road and off it.

First Time? We’ve Got You

If it’s your first session:

Speak to any pacer or organiser - everyone’s approachable
Drop us an email at hello@paceinvaders.co.uk
Or message us on Instagram

We’ll make sure you know where to go, who to run with, and what to expect.

Locations & Seasonal Changes

In better weather, Wednesday runs may start on the seafront instead.
Any changes will always be clearly communicated in advance.

A Quick Note on Safety

All Pace Invaders runs are voluntary and community-led.

You take part at your own risk
You’re responsible for your own health and wellbeing
Pacers are volunteers, not coaches
Please stay aware of traffic, surroundings and conditions

If you’re unsure about anything, just ask - we’re happy to help.

Ready to Join?

No sign-up.
No pressure.
No expectations.

Just turn up on a Monday or Wednesday and run with us.

We’ll take care of the rest 👊
