About

Who We Are

Netley Abbey Runners was founded in 2015 on a simple idea: running together is better than running alone.


We’re a welcoming, inclusive club based around Royal Victoria Country Park β€” from first 5Ks to marathons and ultras, there’s a place for you here.


You’ll often spot us at Netley Abbey parkrun(and grabbing a coffee afterwards!) and out for social runs throughout the week.


At local races β€” and sometimes further afield β€” you’ll find a supportive NAR presence cheering you on.
