Ivanhoe Runners are a sociable bunch, and we organise plenty of social events throughout the year. Keep an eye out for announcements on our club WhatsApp group and Facebook page — and you'll find the details here too.
Social parkruns
Once a month we head to a different local parkrun together. Club members meet at 8:45am by the parkrun sign, and afterwards — whether you've run, walked or volunteered — we go for a well-earned coffee and cake. It's a relaxed, friendly way to try a new course and catch up with fellow members, and everyone is welcome whatever your pace. The dates and venues for our next few socials are listed on the right.
Our regular events
Alongside the parkrun socials, there are a handful of dates that have become firm favourites in the Ivanhoe calendar:
- Annual celebration night — our big night of the year each January, where we get together to celebrate the season's achievements and hand out the club awards.
- Marathon cake night — a sociable evening of carb-loading, of the very best kind.
- Bluebell run — a seasonal favourite, taking in the bluebells at their spring best.
- parkrun takeover — we descend on a local parkrun en masse to volunteer and run.
- Quizzes, BBQs, beer & cheese evenings and pizza nights — plenty of excuses to get together off the road.
- Trips to races — travelling and racing together, near and far.
- Social runs & drinks — informal get-togethers, often an optional easy run followed by a drink and a chat.
Other one-off socials pop up through the year between the parkrun meet-ups, so do check back, and watch the WhatsApp group and Facebook page for the latest.
