About Ivanhoe
Founded in 1985, we currently have a membership of over 150 of all abilities. Anyone competing in local events is guaranteed to see our trademark sky-blue vests taking part. We compete in a variety of events on the road, cross-country and the track too, across several leagues, and hold our own Grand Prix series. Many of our members are keen parkrunners, running locally at Conkers, Rosliston and further afield.
We run a standards award scheme which all members can have a go at, and these fabulous achievements are recognised at our annual celebration evening.
But we're not just about the running! Our social events are big highlights, with quizzes, BBQs, beer and cheese evenings, pizza nights, trips to races, our marathon cake night, and the incredible annual Celebration Night, just to name a few.
We organise the very successful Aldi Ashby 20 Road Race, held every year ahead of the London Marathon.
As an Ivanhoe Runner, you're registered with UK Athletics, securing you reduced race entry fees and insurance cover for racing and training.
Wednesdays are our dedicated evenings for a weekly speed or hill session. These are great for improving your running, whether you want to better your race times, get fitter, or just join in for fun.
The option to complete a group run is also available, with run leaders catering for a wide range of abilities. Club nights often consist of many different paced groups, ranging from over-10-minute milers to sub-6-minute milers. We run routes with cut-off points from 3 to 10 miles during the winter, and various distances on a variety of fun routes over the summer (often finishing at the pub!).
In the winter, we meet at our usual training venue, Hood Park Leisure Centre, Ashby. In the summer we mix up our locations, meeting at various local scenic spots such as Hicks Lodge, Sence Valley and Albert Village Lake.
If you're interested in joining us, please ask any of our club members you see at races, find us on Facebook or Instagram, drop us a message via the Contact section, or check out the location of the week's run and come along and join in.

Registering on the website & account help
Members can register on this website to view results, log mission runs, track personal bests and manage their preferences. Here's how to get set up.
Registering
Head to the log in / register page. You can register quickly using your Google or Facebook account — there's no separate password to remember (You can add a local password later too if you'd prefer). You can also click on Register a free account to create a local account with a username and password without a Facebook or Google account.
Already registered? Not sure?
If you think you may have registered before but aren't sure, use "Forgot your password?" on the log in page and enter your email — the email we send back will tell you which account it relates to. If you're still stuck, just contact the webmaster and we'll help.
Linking your account (important)
After you register, a committee member links your website account to your runner profile. Once that's done, you may need to log out and back in, and you'll receive a confirmation email. Until your account is linked, some features (including logging mission runs) won't be available, and your profile photo will show a placeholder.
Your account & staying in touch
Click your username (top right) to reach your account and runner profile. Please keep your email address up to date — if it changes, let the webmaster know. With a current email you'll receive mission and team-progress updates, plus notifications about race results.
