Popular Leeds venue Green Room is back with another new and improved weekly event that is set to rival the regular 5k parkrun crowds this summer.
The city centre social space, eatery, bar and roof terrace always have stuff going on, from the usual post-work and weekend festivities, to the live music basement sessions and more, but now it’s setting its sights on the run club community.
After a successful first jog around last year, the Green Room Run Club is officially back as we head into the summer season, and with more backing, brand new merch and bigger crowds already, it’s safe to say the 2025 edition is off to a stormer.
Come on, take a quick spin with us:
Taking inspiration not only from the long-established parkrun, which countless joggers and racers alike attend week in week out all over the world, this event offers all the same social, fitness and community benefits with an extra half hour snooze in bed.
Now that’s what we call a result.
As well as the ever-popular London run club climate, there is a real running renaissance growing in Greater Manchester and across the North in general.
With that in mind, Green Room isn’t just copying the winning formula but honing it into something very special of their own.
Adding not only a slightly more reasonable start time but also fresh juice and tasty baked pastries after you finish the 5k lap around some quieter sections of the city streets and along the serene Leeds canals, it’s the ideal start to a weekend.
Better yet, not only is attendance completely free – hence why it’s already proven such a big hit – but the selection of complimentary refreshments and snacks is accompanied by Green Room’s own brand of official run club merch.
With a heavy GSM and thread count, not to mention a cool design on top of the high quality, we had to cop the t-shirt and the hoodie right away. You can find out more on their social media.
Once again, the 2025 Green Room Run Club is already underway and only just getting started; expect big things from the brand, and if you fancy avoiding the parkrun crowds around the same old loop you’ve done dozens of times, why not give this one a go?
See you there Saturday, 9:30.
