About Lancing Eagles
Who we are
Whether you're looking to get fitter, faster or stronger - Lancing Eagles is here to help. Founded in 1986, we are a small, fun and friendly running club based in Lancing, West Sussex.
Our mission is to promote and encourage running within the local community by delivering training sessions for everyone, from beginners who are new to running, to the more experienced and performance-based runner. We welcome runners from 18 years of age and upwards.
Joining Lancing Eagles isn't just about focussing on your own journey, it also provides you with access to a local community of like-minded individuals who support each other every step of the way!
The whole group are such a welcoming and friendly bunch and are always up for a chat so you will never feel left out.
I've competed in several fun runs now. It doesn't matter where you finish, everyone in the club is so supportive, happy and cheer on their own team-mates, it makes it a great atmosphere to be a part of. If you're wanting to meet new people in the local area and make new friends then this is the running club for you. It really doesn't matter how good or bad you are at running. I see this more as a social gathering more than anything else.
What we do
Our regular club nights, meeting inside the Lancing Manor Leisure Centre (BN15 OPH), are Wednesdays at 6:40pm for a 6:45pm run.
Our group runs vary in ability and distance from 5k up to 7-8 miles and include road (in winter) and trail routes (in summer), as well as the odd pub run! There will always be someone to run with and you will never be left behind. All the runners in the group need to keep to the pace set by the Group Run Leader. Whatever your abilities, there should be something to suit your needs.
We also meet on Sunday mornings for a relaxed social run or long run. These are arranged on our Facebook page or Strava page.
If events are your thing, many of our members participate in organised races both locally, nationally, and (occasionally) internationally. Along with charity runs, parkrun, and the West Sussex Fun Run League (WSFRL) races.
Awards Night
We believe in recognising and celebrating the achievements of our members. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting your running journey, we have a variety of awards to honour your dedication, progress, and accomplishments.
Our running awards are more than just tokens of recognition – they are symbols of dedication, perseverance, and the spirit of community that defines our club. Join us in celebrating the achievements of our members and inspiring each other to reach new heights in running and beyond.
