About Us

Thunder Runners (also known as Thunder Running Club) is a friendly small amateur running club where our members run socially for fun, take part in events and support each other.

The events our runners take part in include 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, mud runs, marathons and even Duathlons, Triathlons and Ironman events.

Everyone is welcome to join our club- many of our members are beginners so social runners who still enjoy being part of our small club for general encouragement. We also have more 'serious' runners who take part in a number of marathons each year.

Thunder Runners was founded in 2012. This is a international club (the majority of our members are in the UK, but we also have members in Dubai and Germany!. Our club headquarters are based in Derby.
Registration number with England Athletics- 7692305. We gained affiliation in November 2012.

Our running club is a group of friends who provide support and encouragement to each other during training and events as well as training advice. We have runners all over the country and attend events all over the country too. We even have some members in Dubai and Europe!

We have a twitter account as well as a private facebook group which our members use for chatting, joining events and getting tips from each other.
