Joining a running club, any running club, is a great way of getting fit and making friends. The Manchester YMCA Harriers are no exception.
If you are interested in joining us, we encourage you to come down to one of our Thursday evening club runs and "try before you buy".
You can use the Y Club's facilities free of charge by prior arrangement if you're coming along for the first time. Give the Y Club membership team a call on 01618 373 535. Otherwise, just turn up at the Y Club reception in your running kit at 6:30pm.
If you do want to ask us a question or get in touch with us before you run with us, please use our contact form.
Once you decide we are the club for you, join the club using our online membership form.

Running can be a very individual pursuit, but it doesn't have to be. First and second claim memberships can represent Manchester YMCA Harriers in the many brilliant team running events which we take part in.
Many of our members use running as a way of seeing the wider world. Groups of us will regularly travel to places near and far to take part in running events any member type can join!
Our members do everything from an over-nighters in the Lake District to a long weekend for the Lisbon Marathon.
We are based at the Y Club on Liverpool Road in Castlefield, right in the heart of Manchester city centre. We're a five-minute walk away from Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop.

We hold club socials on the first Thursday of every month, when we exploit the many eating and drinking opportunities that Manchester has to offer.
A hill-repeat session is just that little bit easier when you know there's some delicious food and a cold glass of beer waiting for you when you get back!
