Welcome

Vegan Runners UK is a small, friendly club made up of Vegans of all abilities, from beginners through to dedicated athletes and is affiliated to UK / England Athletics & South of England Athletic Association.

Apart from enjoying running, we also help promote veganism as a healthy and ethical lifestyle. Some of us do this just by running in our VRUK tops, others go to events and fairs. Since our birth in 2004, we've grown year on year by 10-20%.

New members are always welcome - your running ability really doesn't matter, though to be a full member, you have to be a vegan.

Take a look round the website and get in touch via the contact pages, coming along to one of the meet-ups publicised on these pages, or wait until you see one of us running at a local event.

Check the VRUK diary to see if there are any dates for training sessions or event meet-ups. Alternatively, for a free 5K run, we suggest you visit Parkrun to check for a local venue. They are held weekly on Saturdays starting at 9am, you just need to register for a barcode at least a day before your first Parkrun and take a printout along.
