Welcome to Lynnsport Ladybirds

Who are we?


We are an all women's running club who run for "Fun, Fitness and Friendship". The club was founded in 1993 and is open to all women from the age of 16+. Members meet on a Wednesday night in and around the King's Lynn area.

Our group is made up of mixed ability runners who run for fitness and to meet others of a like mind. We run in small groups, matching running speed and distances. On a typical Wednesday night some members do a gentle run/walk of 2-3 miles while faster and endurance groups can run up to 6 miles round the town during the winter. In the summer we travel out of town to local beauty spots and run following trails and paths. 

Members take part in a number of local runs such as the Run for All Grand East Anglian Run (GEAR), Race for Life, Peterborough Half-Marathon, Cambridge Half-Marathon, Great North Run and many more organised events.

We organise a number of social events during the year, for example our New Year meal and at least one barbeque to allow our members to get together and have a good catch up session.

Our AGM is held in September each year and again in March to allow members to raise, discuss and vote upon new ideas.

Why an all women club?


Some women may feel threatened by running with men who are often more competitive. Being in a club encourages motivation and confidence.

How much does it cost to be a member?


As of October 2022 membership will cost £15 for the year.  Part-year subscriptions can also be taken, speak to our secretary or treasurer for more details.

From this money the club insures all its members.


How did we start?


The group started originally as a Reebok Running Sisters group  but changed it's name and with encouragement from the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council began running beginners courses. Currently the club has over 80 members with anywhere between 20-30 attending weekly runs, this changes depending upon individual commitments.
