Helm Hill Runners is a Kendal based running club, founded in 1990 by Ken Shuttleworth, Billy Procter and a small group of parents. Currently we have more than 400 members, including over 100 juniors. The club is centred around fell running, and some cross country, but many members choose to compete on the road, as well as in orienteering and mountain marathon events.

Our club contains a very wide range of ages (minimum age for juniors to join a training group is 8 years) and abilities from beginner to international athlete. We have a flourishing junior section and have many runners who have come through the junior ranks to represent the club at senior, national and international level.

We train on Monday and Wednesday evenings, with a variety of sessions throughout the year, from track, off-road, fell and steady social runs.

For more information, visit www.helmhill.co.uk or come along on a Monday or a Wednesday night – everyone is welcome for up to three sessions before deciding whether to join as a member.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

ALL MEMBERS - both SENIOR and JUNIOR - should use the online membership system to join or renew existing memberships.

18 to 23 Year olds have FREE  membership BUT still need to register on SiEntries but no payment will be taken. 

(Juniors who are members, even if they are not training with the club, can wear a Helm Hill vest and run for Helm Hill in races etc. Also they can attend social events. The minimum age for a junior to start training with Helm is 8 years old but membership can be bought when a child is younger than 8 years.)

Please note - We welcome all new junior members to the club, however if you don't already train with us and are joining because you wish to do so, please be advised that we have a long waiting list at the moment.  Please complete a waiting list enquiry form if you would like your child to join the waiting list for a Wednesday night training place.
