Our charities

Sometimes we run for fun. But throughout the year we also have special events which raise funds for our selected charities.

We love to run

Despite our name, not all of our members actually run marathons. We simply love running.

WAMC membership is open to anyone who enjoys running; from the beginner to the elite, from the competitive to the casual, from the young to the young at heart and for friends and families.

If you love running too, check out the many benefits of a WAMC membership and come run with us.

Lend a hand

We're run by volunteers.

We're a not-for-profit organisation, so we rely on our members to volunteer at events. Every event we hold needs volunteers to make sure everyone has a safe, enjoyable run.

Find out how you can volunteer for an event.

Merchandise

WAMC-branded merchandise is a great way to show you are a part of the club. Our products are from the 2XU Aspire collection so you're assured of quality, well-fitted clothing that's made to last.
