About us

Mercia Fell Runners is one of the UK's longest-established fell running clubs, founded in 1985 by our Honorary President, Richard Day. For over four decades, we've brought runners together from across the Midlands and Welsh Borders, united by a shared passion for the sport.

Whether you're taking your first steps into fell running or competing at championship level, you'll find a warm welcome at Mercia. Our members include beginners, experienced club runners and international representatives, all enjoying regular club runs, races and the unique camaraderie that makes fell running so rewarding.

At the heart of the club is a friendly and supportive community where enjoyment matters just as much as competition. From weekly club runs to championship races and social events, Mercia offers the opportunity to challenge yourself, make lasting friendships and become part of one of the UK's most respected fell running clubs.
