If you’re looking for endorphins over hangovers and good vibes under stadium lights then this Tamworth event could be your new favourite Friday night out. The floodlights will be on at Tamworth Athletics Club on 25 July for TrackSocial, a unique running-meets-social event designed for every level of runner, from first-timers to seasoned athletes.

Brought to life by a collaboration between WIP Running Club, LiftLounge and MARA Run Club, TrackSocial is part coached track session/part social night. Set to music from a live DJ, with drinks (non-alcoholic) and food to follow, it promises a vibrant atmosphere where runners of all abilities come together to move, connect and have fun.

Over 100 runners are expected to take part in this inclusive event, which aims to shift the culture of how people spend their Friday nights. Organisers say: "The focus isn’t on who’s fastest or who runs furthest - instead, it’s about effort, enjoyment and a shared experience."

The session will include a group warm-up followed by timed interval sets, with participants encouraged to run their own 8/10 - whatever that means for them. A group cool-down will round out the session.

Final word with organisers: "TrackSocial is open to everyone, whether you’re a MARA member, part of a partner club or completely new to the scene. The only requirement is a willingness to lace up and enjoy the ride."
